Below are two great resources for teaching. The first one is a link to "Ted Talks" which are "inspired talks by the world's leading thinkers." There are great to use as prompts for writing and/or class discussions.

The second resource is a link to finding almost any text that you would like to have your students read in digital format. It is called The Guttenberg Project and it contains thousands of free ebooks:

Jayne,
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to add links we can all use.
Is it possible organize a space either on Lakeland Writes or the Discussion Board where department members can direct questions about technology, software, or online tools and where we can post lesson plans or applications that have worked well. A links category would be useful as well. Who can we turn to in our own department for help with clickers, blogging, online teaching, moviemaker, advanced powerpoint, etc.? I'm looking forward to bootcamp with Corrie. I'm wondering if we could have an English retreat prior to fall or sometime next year for those of us that would like share and continue what we have begun this semester with the Digital Workshop.
Thanks,
Barb
