Challenge 8 – Using links

If you look down my sidebar, you will see I usually have links associated with the topic my students are studying.  But where do I get these links and how do I know if they are going to be alright for my students to use?


I am thinking of looking at the topic ‘Adaptations in nature’ and have found these two links.  They look quite good as the video is made by the BBC – a reputable company and the other link includes a recommendation by a University Professor at our local university. 

Challenges this week

Would you recommend I add these to my links?  Why or why not? Leave a comment here on this post.

Write a post about an animal that you would like to see in the wild.  See if you can add a link in your post to a webcam or video and some websites about your animal.  Why do you want to see that animal in the wild rather than at a zoo?

Teachers – you might want to do something in class about verifying sources.  Do you have any other sites you use when teaching this topic to your students?
