EDN303

An informative site regarding National Standards and Initiatives, professional development, tools and templates, technology, worksheets, holidays, staffing and training to name a few.

Activities for preK-12. A neat interactive learning website. Students can do character analysis for reading, build a dinosaur for science, math hunts for math.

This site will come in handy as it offers information for new teachers. Great tool. There is information and resources here that you won't find anywhere else. It is a must to check out and make use of. Again, there is resources for students, kids, teachers, administrators, and librarians. I am impressed.

Microsoft is offering free classroom tools, training as well as other free tools. There are how-tos, templates and guides as well as lesson plans. Free software as well. As with any technology site, this is a keeper.

Mathteaching.net provides teachers with free math worksheets for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  Math lesson plans are also available to download.  The online math tools found on this website can be very helpful for students when they are working on their homework.  The website also includes some articles about interesting and helpful topics.

This is an interactive website that was created by a school teacher and is approved by school teachers around the world. The website is set up with the games grouped by grade level. The website also introduces basic computer skills and provides a tutorial for using ABCYa buttons. The graphics are awesome and some of the games have sound which adds interest to the games.

This is a site where you can download software pertaining to assessments. The site offers other items as well but it does contain educational assessments. There are links that will take you to other sites as well. It can be useful.

Carol Gray developed Social Stories™ as a tool to communicate proper social cues and behaviors in different situations to Autistic children. The stories help children, with any social deficit, function and cope with the world around them. I use social stories with all my students.

I am a behavior specialist at my primary school. I use this site as a resource for different strategies and interventions to implement in the classroom. This site is also an invaluable resource for academic interventions and RTI strategies.

We use Mimio Boards in our school. They are very much like SmartBoards. This site provides lesson plans and activities to use with a Mimio Boards.

This is a neat website that can be beneficial for anyone who plans to teach. Obvisouly, being a teacher is very stressful! This resource gives us way to help prevent or deal with the stresses of being a teacher. (I even printed this out and gave a copy to my cousin..who is a teacher!!)

Memorizing multiplication facts can be difficult for some student, but not with these fun interactive games.

Free intererative presentations. Powerpoint on steroids!

A cloud-based presentation software that opens up a new world and makes presentations fun. Useful to make class more interesting for students and have an interesting presentation instead of a boring one. Great for making dry material more fun for the students to learn.

This is one of my favorite sites. It is a great tool when you need to make creative presentations. It is fast and easy to use!

This is a very good interactive website that helps kids learn their ABC's. It will be especially helpful to me because the kids I would like to work with function on a very young academic level, although their age range is anywhere from 13-30. This would really help because it is a very colorful website, and it allows kids to interact. I could think of MANY activities to do with this website.

I actually used this website in my MAT 141 class. It helped me understand many concepts I had trouble with. This website is so interactive that it allows pretty much any age to explore and learn about math. I personally love math and this website ended up helping me study for pretty much all my tests and quizzes. It is very useful in the classroom, and at home.

Awesome site for gaining students' focus. The bright colors, creative designs, and simple explanations are extremely helpful to students, as well as teachers who may need a refresher! ;)

This website is an interactive website that can be used for elementary ages. It is very colorful, and informative. This could be used as a game, or as a study tool at home for kids. For each planet you click on, it gives you an informative paragraph along with a picture, great for learning and exploring!

This website would be very useful for third grade teachers. Third grade teachers have to teach cursive, and this website has alot of pre-written worksheets that can be used as a basis for teaching cursive. Also, it shows catagories of letters that would be best taught together. This comes in handy when a teacher wants to make a weeks lesson plan in advance, and can relate all the lessons to one another. Also, it can be viewed by the students at home if necessary, for help outside of the classroom.

I really like how this resource is for special education students AND educators! Since special education is my major, I really enjoyed reading these "tips."

Since teachers do not get paid the same as doctors, (we wish though), there is a lot that teachers have to do with their time and money. Being a teacher is probably one of the most important jobs anyone can have, which is why I love this website. This website gives a little bit about what to do as a teacher and how to "enjoy" and "make the most" of your time as a teacher. (Another reason I thought everyone in the class might enjoy it!)

Since our EDN class just dicussed SMART boards, I thought that this was a neat website for us to look at. Since I knew nothing about SMART boards, I really liked this resource and enjoyed the things I learned/found out! Really intersting website.
