Final Vision Project

It's been fun to see and hear about what people have done for their projects. It's amazing how amazing we are :) My project has had lots of starts and stops due to health issues, but I have still been able pull together a Digital Resources Catalogue. I have a Teachers' Page and a Students' page that is almost up-loadable to my website. I have to figure out the logistics to make it look the best I can. This will be a good learning curve for me. It also means that I will have to become better about maintaining the library website.📖 + 🕑 + 💻 I have spent many good hours looking for and looking through websites. For the Teachers' page, I have tried to find at least two sites for each subject area. I am still looking for PE and shop but I am happy with the others.

My vision of a collection of digital resources for teachers, students and parents is slowly coming together.   I will be creating three different pages so that, even though there will be some overlap users won’t be overwhelmed by choice. I am also organizing them into subject and skills areas. It is a constantly evolving project as I am finding things exponentially as one site leads to two or three more . I have to say it is something I am excited by and intimidated by all at the same time. I work at a grades 10 to 12 high school so not every website in science, English, PE will be appropriate. I am taking into consideration the fact that not all digital resources are created equal and not all students’ abilities, interests, and/or needs are the same.   So I am not only finding websites but I am trying to choose carefully. I am looking sites that are simple enough for some and academic enough to suit others. Many have a rating from teachers, independent sour
