Ubiquitous Learning and Instructional Technologies MOOC’s Updates

Discussion Forum: Optional Update #4

I live in Philadelphia and The Franklin Institute is a good museum to visit on a rainy day. They aso have an on-line interactive exhibit that is fun to play with. I teach IB Pscyhology, so I will definitely be using this site , next year when i teach the Biological Approach to Pscyhology.

I discovered the Franklin Institute's website, when i read the above Education World article.

Educationworld also published an article about 5 Reasons educators should use games in the clssroom. 

That link is here:

The above article is a link to an academic article about what educators can learn from videogames. 

Finally , the link below will take you to the Franklin Institute Museum interactive webisite.

I have also attached a pdf detailing some of the cool things you can do at the site.
