Each week I'll be right here to guide you through new and exciting educational technology topics for both the "newbies" and the "savvy." I'll showcase the very best in educational websites as well as tips on how to find exactly what YOU need!

In honor of Integrated Technology, this week's featured site is:
From the people who bring you Blue Web'n Learning Sites Library - http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/bluewebn/
Filamentality is a fill-in-the-blank interactive Web site that guides you through picking a topic, searching the Web, gathering good Internet sites, and turning Web resources into learning activities. It helps combine the "filaments" of the Web with a learner's "mentality". Support is built-in through Mentality Tips that guide you along the way to creating a Web-based activity you can share with others even if you don't know anything about HTML, Web servers, or all that www-dot stuff.
Enjoy!
