The site offers a fun formula for exploring careers depending upon one's interest. It is cleverly divided into "interest" categories such as; music, medicine, law, technology, art / design, sports, exploration, science and math. The goal is for students to explore different areas while relating them to what they enjoy. Students will find many games and job descriptions and might be cleverly surprised to find careers that they might have not known existed. It is enormously helpful for planting a seed on the importance of college in respect to career choices. What a great tool for getting students to start thinking about how they can use their talents and interests professionally! http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=509455 My unit plan for heat and thermodynamics http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=735318 Free use, instructor run resourceClasswiki is a space for instructors to post instructional and learning resources, but more than that, Classwiki is a real world application, using prevalent wiki technology, facilitating the publication and distribution of information. Any user with a willingness to be involved in this community can create pages, publish material, or improve existing articles on a more or less equal footing. The result is still in it's infancy, but the ultimate goal is to produce a site where students, staff, and faculty can post information relevant to their work with LCC. User pages can contain personal profiles or detailed resumes/CVs. The class pages can contain most of the information currently on Moodle with a more versatile structure. Students can post, collaborate, and revise material linking it to a user profile and an assignment page. Academic papers can be written in a more vocationally relevant form (i.e. wikitext with diligent internal and external linking to provide source information). Most excitingly, this format provides the opportunity for realistic and practical group collaborative projects wherein all work modifies a single text and all contribution can be easily traced back to an individual contributor. No more riding the coattails or getting stuck with the bag in a group project. All that it needs now is your input, so please, explore, publish, revise, contribute, create. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=693228 Learning Website http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=518599 This lesson integrates American Sign Language, art and basic computer skills as a way to teach basic concepts (i.e. colors, shapes, numbers, foods) in a fun and interesting way.Originally designed for Pre-K (ages 4 to 6)Eric Carle's wonderful story is the perfect platform to introduce food-related material, while this plan focuses on ASL it also was made for cross-cirriculum discussions of elementary math and science concepts. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=742426 This is a lesson plan that deals with the "nuts and bolts" of teaching the musical style of a march.
