A cool thing I found this week was the wealth of examples and instructional strategies available on the online instructional strategies glossary. It provides a ton of detailed information and ideas for presenting information to the class. I also enjoyed better learning how to use primary access. We had talked about it in Prof Grimes' class but I did not recall exactly how to use it or access it. A third thing I found beneficial this past week is how to access and use Google Earth and all the features it has. I had heard about it but never gotten a chance to see it utilized.

The educational applications for everything we talked about a pretty vast especially primary access. That is a really neat tool because it is very similar to photostory but students can access it from any computer and do not need specific software which means that it could be given as a long term project for students. I also think that time line constructor online is a great tool for documenting events and giving a student a concept of how to use a time line and the elapse of time with regards to different historical events.

One question that I have from this past week is how to make nonlinear power points since we did not get a chance to cover that. I had seen them used before in the classroom to make games and exploratory tools and they seem like they would be very useful.
