Pingback: Great Websites Updated! « Ask a Tech Teacher
THIS IS COOL
🙂
Thanks, Jacqui. I just linked this to my classroom Edmodo group so that my students from the 2012-2013 school year can check them out.
Excellent. I update about once a year, and am due soon. I think the categories under ‘great websites’ are helpful also.
It was fun hanging out with you. You are a model for all classroom teachers.
This is cool !
Please consider adding http://www.californiamissionguide.com/ to your mission resources. It has information on each mission, presidio, and assistencia, resources for teachers, and an animated mission map that shows the missions in the order in which they were built.
Hi there–if you would add it to the Comments section of this page, I’ll update it to the list when I do my annual review. You’ll find it’s on the new home of Ask a Tech Teacher at http://askatechteacher.com.
Thanks for letting me know about your resource.
