Our world is shrinking due to rapid advancements in technology. In order for students to be competitive, responsible, global citizens, they need to have an understanding about the latest technologies and how they can improve/change their lives. As a teacher, I feel the need to incorporate technology in a meaningful way. Students should be able to navigate the web to find information and solve problems. The big idea that I have chosen is “What is Energy”? After researching various websites, one clearly stood out. The website I chose to share is http://www.eia.gov/ (U.S. Energy Information Administration). This website has resources for students and teachers. There are links that share an energy timeline, famous people, virtual field trips and more. The site features a host called the “Energy Ant” that is pictured throughout and hosts the virtual field trips. I found this site to have an abundance of energy information and resources that were organized in a visually appealing, fun fashion.
