When I started this program, I very quickly realized I was cohorts to some really clever people. I have had the privilege of listening to my team mates and learning from team mates over the last six weeks. I appreciate the directive to review my team mates blogs because up until today, I was very careful to review my mates blogs as little as possible for fear of plagiarizing, even unintentionally. Using Google reader to read blog posts facilitated my review. As I read everyone's blogs I felt like a kid in a candy store as I bookmarked one site from cohort A and two sites from cohort B. My list of diigo bookmarks has doubled I think.
There are many sites that I appreciate being connected to; however, the Khan Academy, a site Nida wrote about, is going to be an amazing resource to me. This site has a plethora of science- and math-related videos. I organized my wiki so that each unit of instruction (e.g., Kinematics) is accompanied by a Glog on which are a series of related instructional and educational videos. I watched several of Khan's videos and found them superior. I believe this will become my first go-to site for supplemental videos.
