Kan-ed is a website dedicated to providing resources that enable its members to collaborate, educate, and enhance their information delivery services to be a part of a global technology environment. If you look around on the website you will find a huge variety of resources. It has programs for distance learning, video services, and continuing education. It has various forms of online content, explores innovative networking technology, and methods for content discovery and delivery. The main thing about Kan-ed is it’s databases which are extremely helpful for teachers and students. These databases help teachers find materials for the classroom and are helpful to continuing education opportunities in libraries, hospitals, and communities. I think it is cool that they have online conferences because this saves money because people do not have to travel, and also saves time. Databases are especially helpful to homeschooling parents and students when they are able to use them at home. The databases can provide resources for students with homework and tutors. It gives them a world of information at their fingertips. Other things it includes are college courses for high school students, virtual museum visits and tours, it enhances both teaching and learning and makes leadership more available. Overall it is basically an extension of the classroom. The list could go on and on. There are so many different resources on this website, there is even a page for personal stories of how people have found the website effective. In my own classroom I would definitely take advantage of the databases, the Net Trekker which is a search engine used to find materials for the classroom, and the powerpoints and videos. There are so many options on this site to be aware of. I hope to learn more about this site as my education career begins!
