Emerging Technologies Sites

Emerging Technologies (emTech) provides a comprehensive list of web sites billed as "useful for teachers, students, parents, administrators, and other professional educators."  As at the most recent update (June 20)  more than 80 topics are listed on the home page.  These cover a very mixed bag of broad interests - Action Research, Assessment, Home Schooling, Online Class Projects, Professional Development and Teaching Resources are a small sample of topics directly relevant to online education practice, but emTech also offers information on Bookstores Online, Creative Crafts, Foreign Languages, Holidays, Languages and Cultures, and Travel Sites, to illustrate just some of the more wide-ranging topics.

Each of the topic headings is a link to at least one relevant site or a plethora of links or a discussion forum or a location for downloading software, and so on.  Exploring all that the site has to offer takes a lot of time - and users will lament the lack of a search facility - but there are treasures within.  For example, salted away under the topic Student Research Online, you'll find the link, Enhance Student Learning -  The Internet as a Research and Information Tool, which opens out to a  wealth of practical online teaching and learning opportunities, such as

• Explore Online Simulations: Virtual Fly Lab; Virtual Frog Dissection; Online Exploration of the Heart
• Join an Existing Project or Create Your Own Collaborative Projects
• Student Publications and Curriculum Projects
• Use the Internet to Create a Syllabi Web Site: The Crucible Project (based on Arthur Millers's play); Volcanoes; Rain Forest

And that's just one of the links under one of the topics!   The site's really worth a good look, but take a long drink to your computer, or a strong mug of coffee.
