During the walkabout, I collected many resources. I was previously using these resources to communicate, review, and enrich my students. It is nice to have a list to share with students and fellow teachers or to use in future assignments. I like having an organized list that is my own personal toolbox.

One of my favorites was Read, Write, and Think. I found this particularly useful because it has technology tools for students to create products. When students are creating, they are being critical thinkers.


I also love Khan Academy. It is a nice place to both enrich and review. I find myself using it to review before I teach a lesson to the students. I recommend it to the students before a test.


Finally, I like Wikiversity. It is a wonderful place for students and teachers to research and find learning materials.



Just like the teachers, students need to be taught how to safely collect information. Many major universities have guidelines for choosing a source. If a student is a virtual learner, they need some tutorials in this. I found some fun ways to do this at http://eduscapes.com/tap/topic32.htm

It is a good idea to have the students practice finding reliable sources. In addition, having a checklist or rubric could be beneficial to the students as they become online learners.
