Stelum - A Segway into a Whole New World of Learning!

     Stelum is website that sets out to be simple, and make complicated concepts (such as molecules, for example) easy to understand in concise, image-filled snipets of articles that the site calls "Simplexes". Have you ever wanted to know who the Dalai Lama is? Well, after you read a brief, page-long summary that covers the major questions of "Who? What? When? Why? How?" you'll know more about him for sure! These are great icebreakers, and can lead into a lesson about a topic (that would go into further detail on said topic) seamlessly. You might have to watch out for the usual qualities of the Internet, however, as anyone can make a Simplex. This is not 100% a bad thing, though! You could perhaps even assign a group of students to make a Simplex as a project, which would be a nice change of pace if they are use to long, drawn-out papers! You can sort the website by categories as well, which can range from a great list of topics, teaming with Simplexes for each! From Technology to History, look no further for a transitional tool! You can subscribe to any user that makes content, so perhaps you could even set up a group where students can read your Simplexes from home in order to get prepared for a new topic, or summarize an old one! Stelum and Simplexes make school simple!
