National Science Teacher Association

The website called National Science Teacher Association, http://www.nsta.org/default.aspx, is a site where they publish books and journals for teachers from kindergarten through college. They also hold several conferences for teachers so that they can connect their thoughts and ideas with each other.

I would like to learn more about how we can integrate technology into science so that the students can have a more hands on experience and therefore understand what they are studying. I think this would be a great way to show the students the contents that are to be taught in the designated grade level.

The Virtual Museum of San Francisco

The Virtual Museum of San Francisco, http://www.sfmuseum.org, is a research device that can be utilized by educators as well as students if they are trying to get information about the state of California. The teacher can use this to address the topics of gold rush, earthquakes in this region or many other more details about this state's history.

What I would like to learn is if there is a posibility that the museum would visit schools or offer funds for classrooms from other states to visit it's displays and gain a better learning experience. This would only promote students to read more about the history that lies in this beautiful state.

Teacher Tap

The website Teacher Tap, http://eduscapes.com/tap/topic21.htm, is a place that helps teachers travel to other destinations to get activities that can help them in their classroom. Teachers can go to this website and look for what they need instead of pluging in different websites into the search engine. This definitely facilitates the teachers job in looking for new activites to do with their students.

Something that I would like to learn from this is if we could build our own list of websites from this so that when I visit this website, I can have my personal list of websites I've seen and liked. I think this would make it easier for me because I would know where to go to find what I need.
