Tech: Tools and Websites

Today in Tech class, Mark showed us a few great websites that I'd like to use in the future:

• www.ted.com has "inspired talks by the world's greatest thinkers and doers." We watched a video that showed an octopus that could disapear. This will be great to show in class as a teacher. Click for David Gallo's video.
• The International Children's Digital Library has full books online in many different languages.
• At Number Nut there are online activities and other tools for math.

We also looked at some websites that could be used for communication collaboration:

• Teacher's Guide to International Collaboration on the Internet
• Epals for international pen pals.
• The Global School Net
• Center for Innovation in Engineering and Science Education
• Kid's Space

Other things we discussed that were the Smart Board (an interactive white board) and the use of Logger Lite (software used with measurement devises). He also showed how keepvid.com can be used to download videos to your own computer.
