I’m still working on my first cup of coffee, and already have 3 good resources to share:

#1 – How the Internet is Revolutionizing Education – One of the many gems Discovery Education’s Dean Mantz has sent my way via Discovery Education’s Diigo group, this infographic makes visible the impact of the Internet on education.

#2 – You Can’t Just Google It – A great YouTube discussion starter with students about the need to question information. Love the daily gems that arrive each morning in the National Writing Project (#wnp) Daily. Thank you, JoAnn Jacobs, for re-tweeting Paula Naugle’s Tweet with the video’s URL.

#3 – Khan Academy and the Effectiveness of Science videos – Since the Khan Academy is included in the above infographic, I re-watched a YouTube video posted by Leila Dibble to the Merit 2011 ning (I’ll be blogging more about the Merit program, which I’ll be participating in during July). This intriguing video explores “students’ common misconceptions in a video alongside the scientific concepts has been shown to increase learning by increasing the amount of mental effort students expend while watching it.” Seems like a perfect inquiry-based project in the making for high school science teachers to involve students in documenting their prior knowledge/understandings of a concept.

Heading to kitchen for 2nd cup of coffee…
