Week+6

=Presentations=

= History Great Canadians =


 * Very good lesson, **presents using proper internet information**, presenting the information is a technological way
 * This lesson however seems like it should be done throughout an entire week, not only in one class.
 * The audacity activity would be another great way to present information researched, but again this could take students a long time to complete.
 * **Bibme is a great website, students often have difficulties first learning to site and this website provides a great resource for teaching them how to properly site**.

= Prezi and Aboriginal Research = = = An example of someone using Prezi: media type="youtube" key="M0kriH9dKzk" height="199" width="261" = = []
 * **Prezi software seems like a good alternative to PowerPoint presentations which are becoming overused and bland.**
 * As a free function and free software Prezi's will be very useful for educators.
 * **The lesson was well designed and could easily be adapted for history units and history lessons.**
 * Luca and Lily did a great introduction to Prezi and made a very good case for it.
 * I really liked this presentation. By far the most useful for the class.

Science Gizmo

 * **Telescope video was a good introduction**.
 * Instructions for how to sign up were very clear.
 * **Very useful site for a science course**.
 * **Using the Gizmo technology is a much better way of learning this material than using chart paper and pencils.**
 * Very good interactive activity.

= Science Celestia =


 * Not sure what the purpose of the lesson was
 * Celestia is freeware, which is always good
 * **Celestia reminds me of Google Earth but for more of the universe**
 * **Amazing tool for an astronomy class**
 * Would have been nice to try out as a class
 * Video was very interesting and would be a good to use as a hook for students

Religion Bible Gateway

 * The Bible Gateway
 * **Interesting how it has digitized several different versions of the Bible.**
 * The lesson sounds interesting but would be a major undertaking for students

**OSAPAC**
 * Ontario Educational Resource Bank **
 * I have used the OERB before
 * **It is a good website that allows teachers to share lessons, units, activities and evaluations with one another**
 * Very good but can be frustrating, **it takes a lot of searching to find good lessons** for what you are looking for
 * Generally good but you will have to make changes for your class


 * **Database with software resources that can be downloaded by boards**
 * The website lists specific curriculum expectations that can be covered with the software
 * A lot of useful software, but you need to be in the school to get access
