10-9-08 - Integrating the Internet Wonders of Science

Today’s out of class assignment was to explore the following web site: www.cyberbee.com. Wow, what a web site. One could spend a lot of time on this web site. I think that this web site is kind of a gateway to resources and activities on the web. There are so many resources, I think you could find an activity for anything that you would want to teach and many of the resources are conducive to the use of technology in the classroom. One link that I really liked was the Access Excellence link. From this link I found a movie investigation about sneezing as well as a link to the Bill Nye web site. The Bill Nye site was really neat, and I really liked the home demo section. Another link that I found was to a Wonders of Science Treasure Hunt. On this site, students are asked questions about science that they are suppose to find the answer to on the web. There are even hints about which sites they should look at. These are just a few of the interesting links that I found, and I am sure that there are tons more that I did not explore.
