Homework due Monday, October 22, at 9:00 a.m.:

There are a variety of websites that target educational needs. Beware! These aren't small websites that you can breeze through in 15 minutes or less.

• National Science Digital Library (NSDL)
• How Stuff Works
• Yahoo! Kids
• Thinkfinity
• ReadWriteThink
• Scholastic
  

Your job is to spend at least 30 minutes looking at ONE of the websites above, find three great online resources of your choosing, and post a link to each resource on your blog with a description of the resource as well as how you'd use it in class.

And here's the link to the Instructional Architect website I introduced in class. (ia.usu.edu)
