Module 5 "Interactives" online unit
I browsed through the Interactives website http://www.learner.org/interactives/ and found some really cool learning tools. The site has modules in Math, Science, History, Language, and Arts. Under these main topics are subtopics such as cinema, middle ages, elements of a story, metric conversions, and amusement park physics. Each subtopic has a recommended age level. When you click on the subtopic of choice, it guides you through different facets of the topic including an introduction, and a related resources page. I browsed the cinema subtopic found under "arts" because it had some info I can use for my broadcast/film class. The site's explanation of director and producer was easier to understand than most examples I have read, so even though the recommended age group is 9th-12th grade, I am sure my middle school kids could follow it. The tabs on actors and editing will be very helpful to my kids since they are about ready to start filming their commercial projects. I will be adding the list of recommended resources to the wiki I have for this class. Interactives seems to be sponsored by Annenberg Media Learner, found at http://www.learner.org/ which contains many more topics and lessons for most categories of education.

Tam, thank you for sharing these resourses, I had an opportunity to look at them and I am going to share them with some of my teachers. These are great tools and I cannot wait to see how they use them for their students.
