Math Science and Technology Through Design

A optimistic day! So many resources that we are learning to share with each other. I am going to try the embedding of video. At this point, you can only comment but I will make everyone a contibutor soon.

Here are some notes from our meeting:

• bloglines.com is a way to keep track of all the blogs you want. A one stop shop that will allow you to check all the new entries in any blogs you subscribe to.

• http://community.discoveryeducation.com/
• 

• become a STAR Educator    http://community.discoveryeducation.com/star/index.html

• is a small company dedicated to improving the quality and quantity of wind energy science education throughout the US.  While we believe the web is a useful to we try to promote inclusion of wind energy in science classrooms through 1 – 4 day workshops where teachers can get their hands on wind energy! 

• What is Ed.VoiceThread? It’s a web-based collaborative network that is simple, powerful and safe. Specifically designed for K-12 educators and students, Ed.VoiceThread enables rich collaboration around multimedia in a secure environment. More like a pencil than a software platform, Ed.VoiceThread is a space for creating digital stories and documentaries, practicing language skills, exploring geography and culture, solving math problems, collaborating with other students, or simply finding and honing student voices.
• A VoiceThread is an online media album that can hold essentially any type of media (images, documents and videos) and allows people to make comments in 5 different ways – using voice (with a microphone or telephone), text, audio file, or video (with a webcam) – and share them with anyone they wish. A VoiceThread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place, from anywhere in the world.
• K12Grants.org Resources for grants.
• http://del.icio.us  A great way to access all of your favorites from any computer and easily share with others.
• www.teachers.tv A UK based site that has 15 – 30 min videos on many topics including Design and Technology
