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!

Building
models to understand and mitigate brain injury – “Students learn about
the regions of the brain and their function. Then, they build a model to
visualize in real-time what happens when the brain collides with the skull.
Next, they design methods to protect and mitigate the effects of collisions.
Finally, students are encouraged to take the Think Taylor
#TTPledge and commit to being educated, honest and supportive of
anyone suffering from a concussion.” (L:M;SA:S)
ClassHook – “Increase
student engagement and retention. Easily find educational videos from TV shows
and movies to use in your lessons (L:T;SA:A)
EmammalLite –
“eMammal Lite contains over 4,000 photos of wildlife from research
projects around the world taken with a camera trap, a remotely activated
camera. Since no one was around when these photos were taken, researchers
need your help identifying what activated the camera. Do you know your
wildlife?” (L:G;SA:S)
CNN 10 –“News
explained in 10 minutes” (L:G;SA:SS)
Nature Sound Map
– “A group of professional nature recordists from around the globe have
collaborated to develop Nature Soundmap, an enjoyable and interactive way of
exploring the natural sounds of our planet. Combining high-quality field
recordings with the latest satellite imagery, the project brings together some
of nature’s most beautiful, interesting and inspiring sounds.” (L:G;SA:S)
