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!

Bulletin
Board Ideas – “Good bye to the old paradigm of bulletin board being a
"content delivery" system. By adding an interactive element,
expecting students to contribute to the postings, you are transferring
ownership to the students. They begin to see the space as a place for
contribute. Here we are again starting another school year, with
interactive bulletin board ideas for you!” (L:T;SA:A)

Body Study Jams – Science lesson (L:T;SA:S)
Persuasive
Cartography – “This is a collection of “persuasive” cartography: more
than 800 maps intended primarily to influence opinions or beliefs - to send a
message - rather than to communicate geographic information. The collection
reflects a variety of persuasive tools , including allegorical, satirical and
pictorial mapping; selective inclusion; unusual use of projections, color,
graphics and text; and intentional deception. Maps in the collection address a
wide range of messages: religious, political, military, commercial, moral and
social.” (L:H;SA:SS)
Launchpad: How GPS
Works – “In this NASA video segment a NASA expert explains the inner
workings of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Learn more about trilateration
and how four satellites work together to identify exact locations on Earth with
the help of a two-dimensional model.” (L:H;SA:S)
