Mind Maps with Coggle

Mind Mapping and Concept Mapping is not a new concept but sometimes we forget to use this for our students that are for the most part visual learners.  I posted about a couple sites before for Mind Mapping.  To see that post click here.   Another one is Coggle.  See the video below on how to use this free site.  To see the website click here.

Memrise

Memrise is a tool to learn many different subjects.  It is part flash cards for review or learning.  It is part quiz.  I like this tool.  There a many premade categories with subtopics ranging from languages to science, math, history etc.  You can even make your own.  For example I looked under languages and found Ukrainian.  There are many science and math ones.

Memrise will give you one "term" with a definition  then when you are ready you will get a second "term" and its definition.  After that you will be quizzed.  More "terms" and more quizzing.  You get the picture.  I used "terms" in quotes as it could be a new word in Spanish, or a new word in Biology or a new graph in Functions etc.  Check it out by clicking here.

Geolover

If you are teaching a Geography or Travel and Tourism course you might want check out this website.  Use Geolover to plan and organize trips anywhere in the world. Mark places you like. Print to create your own travel map and guide. Click on a location, find sites of interest, and click "Add to my list." Click on your lists to view in map view and use other tools. Add your own places of interest easily.   To see the website click here.

Isn't that ironic?

 

Alanis Morrisette's song "Ironic" had no cases of irony, bad luck yes, but not irony.  See the last couple few paragraphs in the New York Times article here.  If you are teaching irony you might want to  play the song for your class as by now most of the kids will not have heard this once popular song.  Also you might want to use these slides from Laura Randazzo by clicking here.  You can also see her video below where she teaches a quick lesson (7:36)  using these slides.

Cells Alive

The site covers much information about cells and cell processes.   There are many interactive sections including cell cams, games, puzzles and more.    To see the site click here.

Student Handouts

Studenthandouts.com has many handouts at many grade levels in many subjects.  Even though most of them are at a grade school level, many of them will work in the grade 9-10 level in high school.  To navigate just look on the left side of the website to your subject. As of now science does not have much but history looks good.  To see the site click here.

Media History Digital Library

The Media History Digital Library (MDHL) is as The Donald says a HUGE archive of books, magazines about the history of film, tv and radio.  The search engine they use is called Lantern.  So if you need to search some history of media check it out by clicking here.
