Post links to your classroom webpages, wikis and blogs. Identify yourself, school and grade level.

 * Virtual Science**: http://virtualscience.wicomico.wikispaces.net/ This is my wiki for sharing information for incorporating technology into science teaching. Since I teach middle school, that is my focus. However, the simulation and lab pages have links and summaries for k-12 science. I update it fairly frequently and if you have any favorite online labs, simulations, games or explorations please email me. J Hoeffner, grades 8 and 9 jhoeffne@wcboe.org


 * EarthKAM**: http://earthkam.wicomico.wikispaces.net/ EarthKAM is an awesome NASA and UCSD educational program targeted at middle school students, but can be done with grades 2-12. Students are able to contact a computer-controlled camera on the International Space Station, and request a photo to be taken at a particular latitude, longitude, day, hour, minutes. If they don't instruct the camera to take the picture, it is not taken, so the image is truly theirs. The images are stored in a database, which students can then access and analyze.

 * Classroom wiki**: http://hoeffner.wicomico.wikispaces.net/ I use this wiki to post daily assignments, directions for online work/projects and as a showcase for students to post project artifacts. I teach my students early on to go to this wiki for directions for any online activity, that way they will be more likely to use it for posted homework.

 * Classroom Website**: http://teachersites.schoolworld.com/webpages/AOutten/index.cfm. I am currently using my classroom website for posting assignments for my Graduate course at Salisbury University. In August, I will be using this site for my 3rd grade classroom to post homework assignments, blogs, parent pages, etc. Andrea Outten
