 * Searching Teaching Resources!**

During my observation a science teacher showed me how to search for teaching resources. This is really simple and most of you may know about it but I had never seen it before.

If you go to google and search your topic then write file type: ppt (or whatever kind of file you want) For example: reflexive verbs file type: ppt

Now the only files that I have found are ones in the powerpoint form that are about reflexive verbs. You can also find .doc, .swf, .pdf etc.

I think this is a great resource for the classroom! especially the .swf files!


 * News stories in photographs**

Maybe this isn't really information and communication technologies related but this link is awesome. I won't go into detail about it because I think you should check it out yourself. I think this link would be great in a classroom setting to be used to create discussion about current events. News stories in photographs, couldn't get much better than that. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/
