Compare and Contrast

I think that there are many innovative ways to explore information. We all learn differently, some of us are auditory, visual or even kinesthetic (hands on). Therefore it makes sense that we would all choose different mediums of learning. I felt that the "next vista for learning" was a great educational tool. The content was well filtered and organised in a way that even I could navigate through it. The "teacher tube" also had great educational elements. This resource was a little more confusing but still beneficial. I thought that "you tube" and "clip blast" were a waste of time in regards to using them as an official educational tool. There was no filtering system so anything that was placed on that site was there for everyone to view, the right, the wrong and the blocked!
As a non teacher I felt like these sites would be an awesome addition to the classroom. What a better way to explore different countries and cultures through real life stories and movies vs the good old fashion text book.
