Friday 5: Misc. Sites

The Friday 5


Hi Subscribers,

Here's a quick list of sites that I think are worth checking out. Again,
I learned about most of these during the Apple Distinguished Educator
Institute last week.

The Friday 5 is going to continue in its present form, but I'm also
going to be sending out the list via Yahoo! Groups. The reason for this
is that people can subscribe to the RSS feed in Yahoo Groups. If you
have no idea what I am talking about, don't worry because I will be
addressing the subject of RSS feeds and news aggregators in a future
issue! If you are interested in joining the Yahoo Group for the Friday
5, please visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/friday5/.

Have a great week,

1) Domino Artwork
http://www.dominoartwork.com/educators.html

A teacher at my school just had her students render the Mona Lisa in
dominoes, so I decided to check out the web site of the artist who
inspired their project.

2) MabryOnline.org
http://mabryonline.org/

This is the school web site designed by its principal and my ADE
classmate, Dr. Tim Tyson. I really like the design of his site and
also of his blog: http://mabryonline.org/blogs/tyson/ .

3) Teoma
http://teoma.com/

Another search engine which I think is of the same technology behind Ask
Jeeves.

4) Tux Paint
http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/download/macosx/

This open source drawing software for kids was recommended by my
roommate at the ADE Institute.

5) November Learning
http://www.novemberlearning.com/

This is the web site of our ADE Institute keynote speaker, Alan
November.
