Remember those algebra or physics story problems...if a train left the station traveling 70 mph at 1:00 pm on route to the next station 3.4 miles away, what time would the train arrive at the next station? Well the folks at Edheads have created a Virtual Crash Scene. It is a combination of physics, algebra and a video game.
As well students assist a surgeon in a simulation of a hip replacement, knee surgery, find and identify simple machines and learn about weather. These are engaging activities that provide a number of interesting learning opportunities.
A couple of years ago I posted a blog entry about the Digital Backpack , a directory of Web 2.0 tools,online applications, and resources for students and teachers. This site has recently been refreshed and contains a number of additions. http://www.goodhue.k12.mn.us/school242/genie224/images/files/backpack2010.html
Hello folks - I came across the Educational Origami blog and wiki today, and it is well worth a visit. The wiki has a lot of information on 21st Century Learning, rubrics for use with web 2.0 and instructional technology tools and more. Let me know what you think. cheers
