This website is my most favorite website simply due to the content that I am currently teaching. I use this website on a daily basis. The intended audience for this website is for teachers for the following courses: Civics, middle school Social Studies, English, and US History. This website is created and ran by UNC's School of Government. It includes lesson plans, PowerPoints, and videos.
This site is very well organized, and has lots of examples in many subjects. Uh-ho - you gotta sign up. It's worth it though. The lessons are obviously done by experts.
This site helps enhance and develop learning skills in many content areas. BrainpopJr is for K-8 and the regular site (www.brainpop.com) is for students in grades 4-8. I enjoy this site because it allows students to go to specific subjects and learn about them in a fun and interactive way.
I have students that are really not in my class, but they are on my role. These students work with Study Island to help them pass their EOG's. These students are below their grade level potential, so they come to me during my class for extra help
The Study Island user-friendly interface allows students to move through the program step-by-step. Each section has a pre-test and a post-test, as well as topics that cover each of the objectives within the Standard Course of Study. Topics consist of questions, answers, explanations, and lessons that address the specific skills required in order to master the Standard Course of Study.
This is one of my favorite sites to use. Study Island is built from state standards and features many options for its' users. The intended audience for this site are K-8. It functions as a testing platform for students and an assessment tool for educators. I enjoy that the activities are designed based on state standards and that educators have the option to choose what questions and/or games will be included in the students activity.
The CDC website is a great resource for both students and adults. While the homepage is a little busy, the site is easy to navigate and very informative. It is even utilizing social applications to spread information even more efficiently! I have used this site as a resource for some of my middle school classes.
This site is great for students, teachers and parents. It encompasses all the essential learning tools that will be required by elementary school students. Iknowthat caters to Pre-K through 6th grade students. The games are interactive and the content avialable supports all subjects.
The intended audience for this site are students in Pre-K through 8. This site would be a good site if its' games were made using standards from different school districts. Also, some of the games are difficult to understand and poses as a threat to young learners. This site functions as an advertisement site, which can grab learners attention while playing the games.
