Lunar Eclipse Wednesday

Sorry for not getting this out sooner. There is a Lunar Eclipse tomorrow(Wednesday). Space.com has some pretty good information. I like the page but they have a bit too much advertising on it.

The NASA site is way to complicated for me but you might like it.

SiEMENS

If I was 18 again and looking for a career I think I would like to be on the team that makes these amazing commercials.

BOY COULD i USE A DRINK

QUIKMAPS

This one is fun. It is called Quikmaps and oddly enough you can check it out at quikmaps.com. I made a map that shows you how to get to the local McDonalds from our school. The directions are a little lacking but if you play around with it for a few minutes you and your kids will figured it out. I can see using this to map the route Columbus took to get to the Americas, mapping the Triangular Trade, Civil War battles and much more.

Give it a try and let us know how you might use it in your classroom.

Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the Day

You are going to love this site. Larry does a great job of finding all kinds of sites for us to use in our classroom. It's easy to read and well organized. I liked it so much I added it to my Blogger list. Start with his home page and scroll down to check out the last ten posts.

Check out his February 9th post. It is called "The Best Way for Students (And Anyone Else!) To Create Online Content Easily, Quickly, and Painlessly" He's got a bunch of great ideas that I am going to try with my 5th graders. Check out his suggestions to make a movie, write a song, make a map, or create a piece of art.
