Ooooohh MAN! Why didn't I try harder at Science? It would have been SO fun to teach!
Look at these! Bring a projector into your class room with a computer and make science multi-media! Yesterday I discovered http://www.keyhole.com that I had to download - but that let me see my favourite vacation spots (and my next destination, The Grand Canyon!), my house and my cottage from a satellite! Download the pro version. You get a free 7 day trial.

That got me hooked and tonight I went looking for more. I also found:
http://terraserver.microsoft.com/ and http://gisdata.usgs.net/website/Seamless/, which are similar, but internet based and free. Great for geography - but also for Science and (why not?) ELA (fun for finding settings of multi-cultural literature, political context settings etc., story material . . .)

When I went to find more like these I also got the following sites great for Science:
http://www.pbs.org/saf/1507/ - Video streams of the PBS show Scientific American Frontiers with Alan Alda. the site includes teacher / lesson support.
http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos.html of Acoustic and wave animations that allow you to see molecular movement / vibration. Like . . . how cool is this: http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/waves-intro/waves-intro.html ?
or this:
http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/doppler/doppler.html ?

Then there is also this one: http://www.exploratorium.edu/light_walk/index.html which outlines activites that teach about light.

Maybe you already know about all these. But in case you don't . . . have a look. A great way to add some punch to the classroom.

Media Culture Strikes Back - Questions of Pedagogy is the website of : Douglas Kellner, Professor George F. Kneller Philosophy of Education ChairGraduate School of Education, UCLA for his 2002 course, Media Culture and Cultural Studies. http://www.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/kellner/ed270/ The 'theorists' link provides a comprehensive list of archives of writings, web sites and presentation streams by media experts. Hugely illuminating. A great resource for teachers who want more depth to draw on when teaching media awareness and critical literacy skills.The 'mulitmedia' links takes you to a collection of 9/11 video streams and mp3's - the juxtapositioning of which creates an instructive collage. Fascinating.
