Online+Resource+Library

Attempt #2. (the wiki went wacky when I hit "save" and it all went away. oops!)

This is a simple and fun task.

Today we looked at 3 websites that encourage you to share and borrow media - FOR FREE! (OK, Discovery Ed is paid for by your school taxes, but you get the idea) Additionally, you may have your own sites that are school & student safe. Either way, please feel free to use your own stuff and/or the places used in class this week to complete this assignment.

**Assignment:**
Your are to locate and share at least 5 online media resources that you can/could/would use in your classroom. The resources can be audio clips, video clips, images, etc. For each resource, please include the following:

1) The URL (http://www.insertsomethingwittyhereandseewhoreadsit.com) 2) A brief description of what is available at that URL (i.e. Pilgrim video by Walter Cronkite) 3) Age / Grade level resource is appropriate for (i.e. ES, K-6, 9-12, etc.) 4) Course / Subject it relates to (i.e. World History, Earth Science, Careers) 5) Why you selected this resource (put some thought and heart into it) 6) Any warnings or caveats (lots of big words, volume is really low, etc.)

All of your resources can be listed in a single post ("Name's resources"). You are encouraged, but not required, to read and respond to your classmate's posts. It is entirely possible that you have some unknown shared interests, that you have used something posted by someone else, or that a post have given you some new idea or questions.

There is an almost limitless amount of media resources available. No one should post a list that is identical or nearly identical to another student. That would be considered plagiarism. :( Have fun & be original!

**Due Date:**
Each student should have their own discussion thread with at least 5 links and related information (see above) posted no later than 4 PM on Thursday, July 30, 2009 Eastern Daylight Savings Time. Planet Earth. Milky Way Galaxy. blah, blah, blah. :)
