- A Guide to Online Education Resources: This New York Times guide was a top-clicked story for the ASCD SmartBrief newsletter during a recent week. The NYT describes it best, not surprisingly: "Thousands of pieces of free educational material - videos and podcasts of lectures, syllabuses, entire textbooks - have been posted in the name of the open courseware movement. But how to make sense of it all? Businesses, social entrepreneurs and 'edupunks,' envisioning a tuition-free world untethered by classrooms, have created Web sites to help navigate the mind-boggling volume of content." The article highlights six such sites, where you'll find not only help for your classroom but for your personalized professional development needs.
- Wikipedia: An online encyclopedia that your students can read, edit, and contribute to. Great place for them to publish their ideas and work to millions of other students, and on almost any subject. And, to do so, they have to read and learn about these subjects! Careful, it is not like an old fashioned, reliable encyclopedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criticisms
