Chapter 6 - Teaching with Educational Websites and Other Online Resources

This blog post deals with websites that allow organization and outreaching, as well as cooperation between educators. I created a brainstorming diagram using a site called “Bubbl.us.” I think the lot of us can agree that the internet’s use in classrooms will only increase from here on out, and so I assert that social bookmarks, RS feeds, Information alerts, and virtual field trips can play a strong hand in education today.

Here is that brainstorm diagram I created:

A virtual field trip to an unfortunately unspecified Denver museum!

Meanwhile, a simple tutorial on using bubbl.us. Geared towards lesson plans.
