I had my monthly tech integration session at Lakes Country in Fergus yesterday and learned about a few new sites:)!! They are ones I haven't seen so I thought I might share:
1. Dollar Street: This site is a compilation of photos take from different countries at different socioeconomic levels. You will notice that there's a slider going from left (poorest) to right (richest). You can choose "what" you would want to see, and it will filter out and show you based on monthly income. This was an EYE OPENER!! What a great way to "show" kids what they have and what others do or don't as well.
2. Classroom Screen: I know at first this one seems like, "Why would I use that?" BUT, after playing with it for a while I REALLY like it and find that I would constantly have it on my screen in my room while the kids were working independently!! You can have a timer, use a random name chooser, show the clock, have a stop light, sound level, etc.. it's pretty fun!!
Not a TON for today - but some gems:)!
Happy Weekend all,
Mrs. I:)
