Great 'new' websites...

I just blogged about some great new websites I saw over at TechRadar. They have a list of 95 bookmarks you should totally bookmark today. The following selection are my highlights from the learning section. They are not all brand new, but they were new to me...

FFFBI.com is the Fin, Fur and Feather Bureau of Investigation. This award winning website uses humor and storytelling to help kids ages 8-13 learn about places and cultures around the world.

NasaTV is designed to give you an inside look at space explorations. Watch space walks, and live events as they happen online. They also have an education channel for teachers and students. For some reason it worked better in IE, (Boo!).

Flash Earth, The CIA World Fact Book and Newsmap rounded out the best of what I saw. Click here for more info on the last three.

Glad you found the links useful. The full list of all 95 is here, but they were not all relevant for education.

The other new site I mentioned here recently was Weebly for Education. If you sign up via any of the links in that post, you get 10 extra student accounts, and so do I!

Wow. Your Weebly site is great. I will definitely use it for inspiration as I make my own.

Cheers,

Thanks Justin. The class site is kind of a work in progress. It will change as and when I get the time and inspiration, but for now I like it because it is easy to manage in terms of time.
