Extras from chapter readings (week 1)

So, I am a little bummed that my rented e-book does not seem to have the included multimedia extras.  The links do not seem to work on my Mac through the Kindle app.  Initially, when reading chapter 1, I was a little discouraged that the text is not as current as I would have liked.  Some of the resources and technology tools referenced seemed outdated to me.  I was pleased to discover that though the text was not published last month, I did discover a new resource - Curriki.  I am not sure why I didn't know about it before, but I am looking forward to browsing through its curated collection of lessons.

Educational Games Reasearch leads to detour (week 3)

My research took much longer than expected because I kept getting distracted.  I swear sometimes I am like the little dog in UP!  Somebody say "squirrel!"

This one, in particular, led me down a path to incorporating this into my lesson planning for this school year.  I am super-excited to use this, possibly with the great stuff I learned earlier this summer at the Google Summit about MyMaps and TourBuilder.
