Virtual Field Trips, Web Cams, and Free Technology for Teachers

Written by Michael 13 September 2010 3 Comments

Welcome back to school, everyone.

It’s always great to start a new year with a new set of kids, ideas, and challenges.

Glad you’re here.

So, wanted to remind you about some of our free technology for teachers that’ll give you a great jump start on the year.

The free web cam toolkit includes a teacher guide and a resource listing to over 100 web cams from around the world that are useful in a wide variety of classroom settings.

The virtual field trip toolkit is designed for tech coordinators and administrators to download and use along with their teachers. It includes separate guides for teachers and administrators, as well as a lesson on getting the most out of virtual field trips.

And, the 101  Free Classroom Tech Tools is just that… We  scavenged the web and singled out the best resources and tools that are a perfect addition to your classroom — any classroom, whether social studies, math, science, language arts, or an elective. We’re thrilled to present you this list and we hope it engages you and proves itself useful for all of your educational technology needs.

    I think your readers will enjoy this site. Check out MEET ME AT THE CORNER (www.meetmeatthecorner) and the interview with the Park Ranger at Balboa Park in San Diego, California.
    Children learn about the history of Balboa Park, the Pan America Exhibition and the work of a park ranger. Take a look at the upcoming shows for fall including a visit with author Kathleen Krull, an episode about the history of the banjo and just in time for Veteran’s Day, an interview with a World War II Veteran
    Along with the original content created by the professional staff, MEET ME AT THE CORNER is open to kid- produced content.The current video was submitted by 11 year old Sam. He interviews an animal behaviorist at the Denver Zoo. It is obvious that the episode was written and filmed by Sam but the MMATC staff did a great job of editing and adding photos and links to take the episode to a new level
    MEET ME AT THE CORNER, Virtual Field Trips for Kids (www.meetmeatthecorner.org) is a series of educational video podcasts for kids ages 6-12. New episodes are uploaded every two weeks, with a Learning Corner of questions and extended activities, a list of recommended books and links to fun websites about each topic.
    This is a great website for kids, parents, teachers and homeschool families.
