Emerging Technologies

The ChemCollective.org is a website that features tutorials, simulations, virtual labs and real-life based learning problems to help teach chemistry principals.  Virtual labs are a great alternative to having students physically performing the lab themselves when resources or time may be limited.  With the advancement of technology I think it is easy to see how virtual labs and virtual schooling could be the future of science education. 


Ancient Spaces created and maintained by the University of British Columbia in Canada is a website that provides 3-D video animations of ancient places in ancient Greece, Egypt, China, and South America that shows how these sites would have looked in their prime.  Personally I love ancient history especially of the Mediterranean Region.

Other types of technologies that I can see having a big role in my classroom are blogging, podcasting, wiki sites, and google docs.  I'm still looking for the best way to create and share my podcasts.
