We visited a number of teacher sites this evening during class. They were as follows:
This website is run by C-SPAN, which is the organization that broadcasts to the public everything that goes on in Congress. Basically, StudentCam is a program in which students record their own video documentaries on various issues that are of concern to American youth (e.g.: childhood obesity) then submit their work to be judged and win prizes if warranted. This is a great opportunity for kids to take part in; I could see myself having a major project in my future classroom where all my students break into groups and work on videos for this contest to be submitted.
This website is provided by the Public Broadcast Station (PBS) for a young audience. There are a great deal of games and videos that students could look at that originate from PBS Kids shows like Clifford and Curious George. I found this website useless for my own professional use, since I will be teaching at the secondary level.
This website was not opening up in my browser.
This website was created by the Merlot Research Group that focuses on server testing. I am not exactly sure why this website was included in our teacher sites; I will not be able to use it.
This is the website for the Education and Information Technology Digital Library. The specific article that was attached to this link does not exist any longer. I browsed the website and found that it would be very useful to utilize in my studies here at ASU, since it provides access to academic journals, eBooks, professionally developed PowerPoint presentations, and many more resources for teachers and those working to become teachers.
POST CLASS
We did not have any readings this week posted on BlackBoard. We were to focus our energies on our digital storytelling projects.
