For those of you who know me, you know that I LOVE winter Olympics. Since I can't immerse my own class in the event this time around, I'm going to try to send everything I would use in a classroom your way. Of course I'm going to try to integrate tech tools where ever possible :)
I always had students follow events from a both a Canadian website and an American website, as well as the two different broadcasting networks on television to compare viewpoints based on athletes.
Official Olympic Site and their Education Programs:

American Site:
Look for postings weekly until this fantastic event is over:)
I must say I share your passion for the Olympic games and Tech, and I'm already planning how I will immerse my students into the games. Be happy to hear more of your ideas.
