Google Earth, IB Notes, Catalysts and Connections, and Plagiarism from Wikipedia


Catalysts and Connections, a blog and website about music education, the subtitle is "Expanding Dialougue in Music Education. Looks interesting. An example of the posts is "online instrumental mentors".

The IB Notes site is a usefull collection of websites and resources for teachers and students in IB courses. In the new section the Savita Paul and Chem site has a lot of review material as well as topic notes for IB Chem students.

Many students are turning from Google to Wikipedia to research their reports. It is a peer written and peer edited on-line encyclopedia. Quck checks for plagerism for a particular report or essay might start here.

I searched one link for using Google Earth in the classroom and came up with so many links that I will have to make a Google Earth posting. Here is a selection of sites and resources:
-Google Earth educational resources and ideas at the Shambles.
-From Juicey Geography, putting Google Earth into your lessons quickly and easily.
-Google Earth Lessons from Google Earth Lessons, home page link. The image is from this site.
