Motivation Station & WatchKnow

Another thank you to Mrs. Wit, Keystone's Instructional Technology Specialist for finding 2 new technology goodies........ I hope you can find the time to explore these 2 sites.
Motivation Station--Parent Corner From Discovery Education, a free web site for parents with interactive content. Ideas for motivating students.
WatchKnow - Videos for kids to learn from. Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia, has launched a new web site designed to gather and organize educational videos for students ages 3 to 18. The site, WatchKnow.org, currently features more than 11,000 videos across 2,000 categories on subjects such as math, science, and history. The nonprofit site features new software, developed specifically for the site by Sanger, that allows wiki-style collaboration among users.
Also, in case you haven't heard ............ Mr. Ryan Smith was recently hired by the Board of Directors for the Elementary Tech job. Ryan is a CUP graduate & actually did his student teaching 2 years ago with Mr. Turk in 6th grade & Mrs. Riley in Kindergarten. We are very happy to have Mr. Smith join the KES Staff.
