Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week,
thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning
research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some
of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you
for coming by and visiting!

Dictation
- With Dictation, you can use the magic of speech recognition to write emails,
narrate essays and long documents in the browser without touching the keyboard.
To get started, just connect the microphone to your computer and click the
Start Dictation button. Dictation uses your browser's local Storage to save all
the transcribed text automatically as you speak. That means you can close the
browser and it will resume from where you left off. The app internally uses the
built-in speech recognition engine of Google Chrome to transform your voice
into digital text. (L:G ; SA:A)
America by Air – Interactive site
on Air Transportation (L:G ; SA:SS)
History Animated – “If a
picture is worth a thousand words, a good animation is worth ten thousand.
After reading book after book about the Pacific War and finding only
complicated maps with dotted lines and dashed lines crisscrossing the pages, we
decided to depict the key naval and land battles using animation technology.” (L:G
; SA:SS)
