"When I Become a Teacher"

This is where I am posting useful websites that I come across during this class for future use.

Websites:

• NASA.gov: great site!  Videos, the latest news, huge resource for science

• US Geological Survey- Full of resources and information, but not easy to navigate.  This site can provide additional support for a variety of topics, but not to use as 'the source

• Worldwide Telescope- This is amazing!!  When you can't get a field trip to a planetarium, this is the next best thing. Tthe graphics are incredible, and there are 'guided' trips through space.  It really is a great resource. 

• GLOBE - Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment- This is a science program, site provides resources for teachers and students.  This is a site that could be used, but not my favorite. 

• NSTA Freebies for Science Teachers-  This site actually took me to many of the sites mentioned above.  It is a very useful resource.  I found a link to ZeroWaste Challenge that lead to more resources.  This is very usefull!

• ViewPure - how to keep youtube videos without adds-This is very usefull and welcomed!  adds can take away from the overall lesson and flow.  this is a great site to have and remember.
