From Richard Byrne of Free Technology for Teachers-
Rocks and Weathering - a great interactive activity to use with students to learn about rocks. It shows how different types of rocks form and provides for students to create, inspect, and destroy rocks using different tools. It also can be captioned (see top menu of website) for those who are Deaf, hard of hearing, ESL, or simply like the captions. This could be used on individual computers or as an interactive whiteboard activity.
From Digital Goonies -
Wikicards.net is a great way to organize your information and be able to share it with others. You can create as many cards as you want and organize them into groups. You can put links, jpegs, videos on the cards and group them under one heading. You could use this to build your resources for a unit and then share it with your fellow teachers. Here is an example of using Wikicards from Digital Goonies.
That's all for now. I am attending two conferences in the next two weeks and hope to have more to share! CAL-ED for Deaf Educators in California and CUE - Computer Using Educators big conference in Palm Springs!
