Global sites on education

►Trends in International Maths and Science Survey (TIMMS)
I've been following this survey for the last decade to see how the countries I work are doing in education compared to others. It's a useful snap shot site to go to to find out how your country is doing in not just Maths and Science, but other subjects. You can even get your students to compare themselves with the survey results for the US and rest of the world in some subjects by going to the Dare to Compare link.

NALDIC is releasing an edited version of Prof Ofelia Garcia of City University New York's talk given at the recent NALDIC conference on YouTube.
Entitled 'Reimagining bilingualism in education for the 21st century' she introduces the notion of 'translanguaging', which offers a radical re-conceptualisation of bilingualism with major implications for classroom practice.
There will be five parts in all and they will be released on a (roughly) weekly basis.
The first part is now available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVI41CMw6HM

►The Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition.
I came across this site when looking for an article on language and learning and it was available here. Feels like I should keep my eye on organizations working on thinking and learning like this one.

Resource sites - General

►Interactives
Part of Annenberg Media (http://www.learner.org/) - Teacher professional development and teacher resources across the curriculum. I came to look at the interactive animations, but there is much more that that to this huge resource.http://www.learner.org/interactives/
You might also be interested in the archives of teacher learning modules with video resources on teaching different subjects.
The example I looked briefly was to do with Chemical Reactions, is not CLIL specifically, but highly usable:
http://www.learner.org/resources/series168.html
►STEM
A resource centre for teachers of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths http://www.nationalstemcentre.org.uk/
I went here to look at the SMILE Maths Cards which in themselves are an outstanding resource.
►motivate 
Video conferences for schools
What a wonderful idea! I've come across video conferencing for Science Across the World with Flashmeeting but haven't come across a system for schools which offers curriculum focused video conferencing - here Maths. There are sessions which links Maths with the rest of the curriculum including a couple on Maths and languages. http://motivate.maths.org/content/

Resource sites - Science

►Science in Schools.
Project hub for schools interested in science projects and is in multiple languages.
http://www.scienceinschool.org/
►Getting Practical.
Site aimed at improving practical work in school science. I found it because it had a sample to a book called 'Language of Measurement' which is on sale at the Association for Science Education Booksales section of the association website www.ase.org.uk.
http://www.gettingpractical.org.uk/index.php
►Science Across the World
A number of things.  It's a community of schools and potential partners (over 8000 of them at last count).  It's a bank of 20 topic resources in general Science areas such as Health, Diet, Environment.  It's a place to find exchange project resources and partners working in multiple languages.  Many of the topics have language teaching notes.  It's the bees knees and a good place to start if you're new to integrating content and language and would like ready-made materials to work with.

Resource sites - Maths

►NLVM
The National Library for Virtual Mathematics. Nice applets for visualising concepts in Maths.
http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html
►WisWeb
The Freudenthal Institute website has many applets suitable for use in a range of maths topics.
http://www.fi.uu.nl/wisweb/en/
►+Plus magazine ... living mathematics
I like this site as it's all about Maths in everyday life, which is always going to be useful when working with young people, i.e., getting them to relate their Maths to the world around them.
http://plus.maths.org/index.html
►Emaths - I came across this site from a discussion about subject-specific word lists. English-Arabic maths vocabulary, for example.
http://www.emaths.co.uk/
►nrich
Specialists in rich mathematics
The curriculum maps are very useful on this site, matching maths areas with thinking and processes. It's a relatively small step to add language onto maps like these. If you teach Maths through English as a foreign language and think these maps are useful for you but need some language indicators and feel like giving it a go and need some help, I'd be happy to lend a hand. http://nrich.maths.org/public/index.php
►NCETM
I found this link to the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics from the emaths website and am putting a link here simply because it makes sense to have it advertised here.  This is the national network for teachers of Maths in the UK, lots of information about events, and there is also a discussion forum.  Some discussion on EAL students. http://www.ncetm.org.uk/Default.aspx
►Topic-based mathsResources turn up like this one which is a recipe book for teaching maths through a topic-based approach which is also a great way to develop language in the subject.http://www.nrdc.org.uk/maths4lifetopic

I came across this site by chance, but had to stick the link here as what it provides (shapes and shapes and shapes) is a great free resource.
http://www.korthalsaltes.com/
►TISME (The Targeted Initiative on Science and Mathematics Education)
TISME aims to find new ways to encourage children and young people to greater participation, engagement, achievement and understanding of Science and Mathematics. Interesting looking initiative I came across in February 2011. Can't see any focus on the language of these subjects but one of the research projects does highlight concept development as a focus for research, possibly promising.

►Wordle 
Website has nothing to do with CLIL but is a fun way of creating word clouds of any text you like. Word size is related to frequency. I sometimes present clouds of words in Wordles to my students and get them to work in small groups to recreate the context the words come from based on what they see in the cloud. Good way of putting related words in one place in a random order. www.wordle.net
