MERLOT: An adventure of knowledge …
This is a new resource that I have been exposed to in my class CEP 811 from Michigan State University. It is a nifty collection of resources including animations, lessons, websites with links, tutorials, unit plans, and so on for educators to view, use, and add to. It is a great resource from what I can tell, and after subscribing to an RSS feed I immediately was able to find a website that had virtual labs for chemistry. Sites like this will be greatly useful as I try to find better ways to teach in an environment that educates students in the unique way that students are taught at the Ingham Academy, where adjudicated youth are taught in classes sometimes containing several subjects, spots, and grade levels within the same classroom each period. It is a challenge that will become less daunting with resources such as this!
