YETC!

Today in my educational technology class, we learned about the many resources that are available from the YETC. I had been on a tour of the YETC, but today I think I learned so much more just how important and wonderful the YETC is. I didn't realize that there are so many resources available online for free. I really want to take advantage of as many of these things as I can.

I will definitely use many of the things we talked about today in my classroom. These resources will make learning so much more engaging for the students and a lot less boring. I really loved the ideas of the spellingcity, storylineonline, and stellarium. Spelling can now become fun and more engaging. Story time can be done through large pictures, read by celebrities that children are familiar with, and become more interactive. I am really excited about the stellarium because I am very interested in astronomy. This can be a great project or activity to do with students. I really enjoyed our tour of the YETC!
