Watch for a letter to send home with students about home access for the Follett Destiny Card Catalog.
eyePlorer is a new website I learned about at the MEMO Conference I attended the first weekend of this month. The link is on the left side of the blog under Web Sites to Check Out! eyePlorer is visual search of facts and the relationship between the facts. It is considered a graphical knowledge engine. Type in a keyword for a unit you are teaching to see how this might be helpful. For students this tool could help students to narrow or broaden a search term or a topic for research. For younger students, this helps them to visually see the relationship between a topic or term and other related things. The negative aspect to this site is the advertisements on the left side.
I would like to provide afterschool or during lunch professional development sessions not longer than a half hour. Sessions would demonstrate websites such as eyePlorer or Thinkfinity, provide information about the Follett Destiny Online Card Catalog, or bits of information about SMART Notebook 10. Please comment on this blog or send me an email if this is something you would attend.
