Probably the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time… Wolfram|Alpha is a computational knowledge engine. It computes answers to specific questions on the fly using its built-in algorithms and an ever-growing collection of data. This lets you and your students ask questions that have never been asked or answered, and get accurate and appropriate answers. Site includes lesson plans to give you an idea of how this knowledge engine can be used.

Need a little creative spark - check out this site and listen to podcasts Portableradio.ca - podcasts from a portable - grade 5 students with their teachers broadcast their podcasts. Podcasts are also available by subscription through iTunes.

About Me and My Blog
I have worked a long time in post-secondary education and all of it has taken place at Sir Sandford Fleming College. My role for the past 12 years has primarily been part of course and program design teams to develop blended/online learning opportunities for full and part-time learners as a learning technology specialist (the postion has evolved over the years from web production technologist, elearning technologist to learning technology specialist).
I facilitate workshops, informal learning sessions, and answer any question that is directed my way :)
I am currently completing my Bachelor's of Adult Education at the University of Brock (one credit to complete).
I'm also a very proud mother and wife. My family are my barometer and the means by which I measure my balance.
