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!

Typing Club – “TypingClub
is the most effective way to learn how to type. It is web based, and highly
effective. TypingClub is (and will always be) free for both individuals and
schools.” (L:G;SA:A)
Tracing
the Evolution of Phones – from Richard Byrnes, “In the following video
I demonstrate how your students can use Google Scholar to trace product
development through patent research.” (L:G;SA:A)
How
do Ocean Currents Work – “In 1992, a cargo ship carrying bath toys got
caught in a storm. Shipping containers washed overboard, and the waves swept
28,000 rubber ducks and other toys into the North Pacific. But they didn’t
stick together -- the ducks have since washed up all over the world. How did
this happen? Jennifer Verduin dives into the science of ocean currents.” (L:G;SA:S)
Weather Lab – “Weather
Lab is a tool to help visualize how North America’s weather is formed. This lab
is designed to model the complex interactions between air masses and ocean
currents, but like all models it represents probable outcomes. Each prediction
you make is for possible outcomes during Spring.” (L:M;SA:S)
Habitats –
“Do you know where the red-eyed tree frog calls home? Play this game based on animal
habitats to learn! Explore the desert, coral reef, jungle, and marsh to
discover where many animals live by matching each animal to their correct
habitat!” (L:E,M;SA:S)
