Links Not to be Missed
My del.icio.us feed has been growing fast and furious lately, so much so that I needed to highlight these few fun things.
~ Accessibility Software for the Colorblind
My colorblind husband sent this one to me. Reading graphs online can be a major difficulty for some kids.
eyePilot is an easy to use, interactive software program that lets anyone
work more efficiently with the full range of colors in the computer environment.
~ The O.P.E.N. Citation Maker from the Oregon Public Education Network Clearing House is a nice, very simple citation maker. My students and I have tried so many of these, and this one is one of the simplest we’ve found yet. Very nice.
And in the category of There Has to Be an Educational Use for This…
~ The Make Blog is a consistently inspirational read. I think every science teacher in the country should be subscribing to this. It’s sad that Bre Pettis isn’t teaching in schools anymore, but this here is quite a legacy. DIY from weather balloons to bird feeders.
~ Sheesh, what am I saying. Libraries should also subscribe to Make Magazine. It’s an absolute DIY joy.
~ Finally, there is this little mind bending, guy. Cute too.
