230个国外著名的在线学习网站

东行记是教育技术学本科生、硕士生、博士生、专家学者都很关注的网站，中小学教师也不例外。黎加厚老师常把他的一些idea、信息发在jiahou(i)s blog上，指导着他的研究生，也指导着网络中的中小学学习者。昨天，黎老师发了“国外230个比较重要的在线学习网站、虚拟学校、e-Learning学习资源”的日志，读来觉得对英语水平较好的老师的专业发展会很有益处，现摘录于此，共大家选用。下面是黎老师的日志：

　　下面是国外230个比较重要的在线学习网站、虚拟学校、e-Learning学习资源，供大家学习参考。我注意到：

　　1、每一个网站都“与众不同”，很少彼此雷同。

　　2、从2000年到今天，短短五年中，国外教育网站数量激增，发展方向上与我们的思路很不一样。

　　3、他们为什么不象我们一样，去投入大量人力物力建设教育资源库？

　　4、在东行记上，我曾经写过一篇日记“信息化时代的“李约瑟难题”—第八届全球华人计算机教育应用大会感想”（http://www.jeast.net/old/001552.html），面对我们与世界上发达国家在教育资源建设和信息化教育发展理论方面越来越大的差距，我们该如何学习国外的经验，如何本土化？

　　建议老师和同学们去这些网站看看，思考一下这些教育网站给我们发展教育信息化有哪些启迪？

　　（注：希望写研究文章或毕业论文选题的同学可以深入分析这些网站，其实，认真研究分析每一个网站，就是一篇研究论文Idea。）
