Planning
The Internet provides teachers with an increasingly diverse and reliable alternative to traditional print resources for planning purposes
- To encourage children to do their own searching then specific child-oriented search sites such as AskKids , Yahooligans, StudySearch plus Google with safesearch turned on are recommended. To get the best out of Google make sure that you read the Search Tips and learn how to use the Advanced Search function. You might also like to use the Goolge Guide cheat sheet.
- Another two visual search engines worth considering are SearchMe and Kartoo. A search using Google on "Kid Pix Tutorial" brought up 10 pages of links from basic tutorials through to teaching ideas and more.
- Phil Bradley provides a great summary of what different search engines can do at http://www.philb.com/whichengine.htm
- Once on the net great examples of sites that are easily accessible are Energy Quest , Rocky the Rockhound and How Stuff Works .
- To provide a great method of storing all you most favorite websites in a manner that allows you to easily search them by category as well as access them from any other internet connected computer then you need to start up your own Social Bookmarking site such as Diigo or delicious. To see Diigo in action go to mrpbps' Diigo Bookmarks. To see delicious in action go to mrpbp's Bookmarks.
- To get science news and a science-based investigation idea in your email inbox each week consider joining: CSIRO Science by Email, PlanetScience and Robert Krampf's Experiment of the Week
- An excellent collection of science based activities plus the science underpinning them can be found at Science Playwiths
- You should also consider joining email based listserves such as Oz-teachers where any valid teaching enquiry will be dealt with by the very caring Oz-teachers community
- Subscribing to services such as EdNA Online, (which is Australian based database of web-based resources useful for teaching and learning) provides weekly updates to some of the best opportunities the web has to offer
