1. Education Simulations Resources: http://www.techtrekers.com/sim.htm, provides many tools for teachers to use such as webquest link, rubrics and PowerPoint ideas. Focused on math and science, one link would not work, focused mainly on grades 4-12 one was k-12. I feel that it does reflect on the TPACK, it provides information that is up to date, information for both the students and the teachers and that the simulations enhance the exploration of the content. The blooms taxonomy that I would use would be understand, and apply. I think that it provides the right information to where the students could do both of these. 2. Internet4Classrooms: http://www.internet4classrooms.com/physics.htm, When you first type this URL link in, you are brought to a page that talks about physics and other science topics, however there are more links that cover all grade levels. Something that I really liked about this was that it provided links and simulations for students with exceptional learning needs and also had specific ones for specific needs. It also provided common core standards. The age level/grade level ranges from prek-12 depending on the topic chosen. I would for sure say that it covers most of the 21st century information. It is exciting and connecting, does not distract or stray away from the learning materials. The age group that I focused on was prek-5, so the blooms taxonomy would be knowledge, understand and for the start of applying. 3. Illuminations: http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivitySearch.aspx, I absolutely love this site! It has activities that cover grades prek-12. This contains virtual manipulations that are amazing, as well as lesson and standards that the teachers can use. I feel that this contains everything that the TPACK is about, it provides up to date materials to use, keeps the students engaged without being disconnected, and provides great opportunities for the teachers to use technology in their teachings. When it comes to blooms taxonomy I think that it covers, knowledge, understanding, and apply. I think that for the older grades you could say that they could analyze some materials but I would stick to the first 3. 4. Educational-Freeware: http://www.educational-freeware.com/category-K-12.aspx, I feel this is a good site, it provides information, references, educational games, downloads and more. I feel it would help both the students and the teachers. The grade range is from kindergarten to 12th grade. I feel that it gives plenty of 21st century information, meaning up to date. Also I think depending on what is being researched and used, it could use the first four levels of blooms technology. 5. How to do E-D-U, http://howtoedu.org/2010/50-free-online-educational-games-that-are-more-fun-than-youd-think/, I feel this is a very helpful site. It provides tools that would help wide range of learners. It provides tools for young children and parents, students and teachers, as well as tools for adults. I feel that it covers the first four blooms taxonomy as well as works great considering the TPACK. It has updated information, keeps the learners active and engaged and also helps the teachers obtain information.
