| | Net Safe I am fascinated by the reall life stories . I wonder if the kids could find them. Would they listen and be willing to give insight. |
| | PA News The safety site is gone but when I pulled up the site today, April 16, I saw up to date news on the shooting at Virginia Tech |
| | Interesting links to motivate and capture the attention of teens including a link to isafe. |
| | I haven't spent much time here, however I looked at WiseBuys for Teens which is aimed at young (actually any) consumers. |
| | "The web's largest online safety website." I've cruised around it a bit and there is a TON of information about all of the hot topics surrounding internet safety.
They have special webpages for educators, parents, law enforcement, etc. If an adult has any questions about certain websites (especially networking websites) this website has the answers. A solid informational resource. |
| | This article has some of the benefits of blogs and myspace type things... also check out the resources at the bottom of the page! Can My space be good for kids? |
| | The Impact of Information Technology (IT) on Businesses and their Leaders
by Andrew McAfee
Associate Professor, Harvard Business School
In general, this site is well out of the scope of our course. However, if we look at Prof. McAfee’s thoughts on ‘flip’, we might have something useful as we try to bring about changes in how we view and use technology in our schools.
Use the professor’s example and flip the introduction of computers and books. Imagine a school where everything is done on computer. What are the arguments for and against switching from computers to this 'new' technology called books? |
| | Well developed lesson plans complete with standards and benchmarks that are produced by the Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning in Denver, Colorado. McREL is a nationally recognized, private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to make a difference in the quality of education for all through applied research, product development, and service. |
| | This is an excellent site that is worth checking out. It "offers hundreds of free, downloadable resources and tools" for use by teachers.
I think the organization can best speak for itself:
"Mid-continent Regional Educational Laboratory (is) a nonprofit organization created to help educators in the nation’s heartland bridge the gap between research and practice..."
"Our research and development work provides teachers and administrators with valuable information about proven, effective approaches to the challenges in education today..."

| | My Blog is constructed in Goggle free Blogger site. It is not advertised in Goggle. Anyone can post to it even in annoymous format. It's not that I think that is a good idea, it's just that I wanted to see what would happen if I planned the Blog this way. So far the BLOG has been up for 7 months with no unwanted comments. |

| | This is the site that I will be using with the curriculum mapping council at my school. Right now, it is open so anybody can post to it. Once I get the other members of the council trained and we start to use it, I will restrict access to only the five of us. If the council agrees, I will give viewing access to anyone who wants to read our discussions. Rodney |
| | I hope I put this in the correct spot |
| | This is the blog I created for this course. |
| | This is the blog I might try using with my honors freshmen... |
| | The suggestion to look into a PBWiki came idea from Carole. Here is a site that says you can create your own wiki password-protected Wiki in ten seconds. For the classroom, try: http://pbwiki.com/edu.html (same creators but with focus on classrooms.) |
| | Here is an article related to an improvement on Wikipedia. |
| | What do you think of this? How would our students review it? |
| | |
| | Provides a matrix to help plan for emergencies, both for the individual/family, and for institutions. Everyone should check this out. |
| | What a great site! Every student (and the rest of us, too) should have this.
How it works:
Maryland AskUsNow! is a 24/7 live online interactive service for the residents and students of the state of Maryland. Questions from outside of the state that are about Maryland are also accepted. It uses the expertise of trained librarians to provide answers to questions, research guidance, and help navigating the Internet. |
| | These are the sites for grades 1-3. They are really cute. Perfect for the kids to do by themselves.

| | This website gives great examples for students on how to paraphrase and make work their own, therefore the are not copying others. |
| | This site gives you a worksheet for students to figure out if the site they are looking at is actually fact. |
