Week #1 in CEDO 550

This week we took are first steps into being online educators.  We used Elluminate as a teacher rather than just as a student.  We read articles about some positives and negatives in online education. Lastly we took a look at a bunch of different examples of online modules for learning.  My big three were:

1. Hippocampus: this website has some great AP Physics content inside of it. (clicking the link sends you to Newton's 1st law of motion movie) I hope to use this for creating some supplemental material for my AP and honors students.

2.  Rocket Science 101: this website takes you through the parts of a rocket and what they are used for.  This will be great for my Science 9 students and their rocketry unit.

3. Crash Scene Investigation: this website gives you a CSI look at how to use physics to determine what happened in an accident.  This would be a fun side project for physics to try out.
