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.

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