#25 “Instructional Strategies Online – Concept Attainment” – This is a website that discusses the definition, purpose, and advantages of the concept attainment instructional model. This site also provides a “how-to” guide for creating your own concept attainment activities. It also features some examples of finished, “ready-to-use” concept attainment activities. As I mentioned in my last resource log post, I think technology can be effectively integrated and used with concept attainment activities.

#26 “Fact & Opinion Concept Attainment Activity” – This is a fact and opinion concept attainment activity that has been created using PowerPoint software. I think that concept attainment activities that incorporate the use of technology can be used by the teacher to teach students about certain concepts, but I also think that students could be required to construct their own concept attainment activities for a given concept.

#27 “PBS Teachers: Learning.Now Blog” – This is the “Social Networking Archive” section of a blog that is hosted by Edtech expert Andy Carvin. This site discusses several social networking sites and techniques that can be used in any classroom. It also features discussions about topics such as Internet / Social Networking site safety. I found this blog to be very interesting, especially since I will be completing my Module E Case Example assignment on “Social Networking Tools in Education”.

#28 “The Schools United: Free Online Networking for Schools Website” – This website is a free social networking site dedicated to linking schools worldwide. It allows school and staff users to share ideas, teaching aids, and multimedia files. I thought this would be a great resource for me and my fellow classmates in this class. When I read the description of this social networking site, it seemed to be closely aligned with some of the technology enhanced activities we do in this class, such as blogging and creating a WikiText.

#30 “A Briefing for Educators: Online Social Networking Communities and Youth Risk” – This is an online article by Nancy Willard (the same author of the article above), who is the director of the Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use. This article discusses the most popular social networking communities and the risks associated with using these sites. This article also offers advice to educators on addressing these risks. I found this article to be very interesting. This article is similar to the article above, but this article is more in-depth and goes into more detail than the article above.
