The first site is http://www.apples4theteacher.com/. This is a fun little site that provides several tools to teachers such as free printable worksheets for several different subjects that could be used in a variety of grades, from kindergarten to upper middle school. This site also has some fun interactive games for students.
The second site is http://school.discoveryeducation.com/schrockguide/ this is a very helpful site for teachers and has different tools for teachers. What I noticed most about this, and what I would probably want to use this for is the section on resorces for educators. This section has everything from back to school checklists to fun ideas for a first day back from summer break. All in all a very comprehensive looking tool.
The third and final website is http://www.mathplayground.com/. This is a fun website that has very useful tools to teach math to kids. I found one game in particular that caught my eye. It was not so much a game but a tool to model math problems using blocks. This 'game' (for lack of a better word) has a word problem on the screen and asks the kids to model it out and then asks them questions that lead them to figure out the problem. This was a really cool modeling tool and can make learning this stuff fun and interactive.
First site: I really liked the crafts that this site had listed as ideas. They were creative, fun and there were a TON of them! This is a great site to get ideas. I could see myself using this to pick a good craft to go with a lesson when I'm a teacher.
ReplyDeleteSecond site: This seems like a really good site for teachers to get started. They have rubrics and checklists. I would probably use this in my first year of teaching to help lay down the foundation of my classroom. This is a very useful resource.
Third Site: This site would be a good place for students to go if they had free time because there are some math games. I really liked the section of the site that had flashcards! That would be very helpful for students. As a teacher I could see myself using this to get flashcards or worksheets online or using this as a place to let kids go after they have finished their lesson.
