A site for creating interactive texts.

New tech from Google that everyone should acquaint themselves with.

Lots of classroom resources.

This website is an amazing resource for students and teachers. The Study Island website has aligned with state standards and created tests, activities, and games that promote student mastery of each standard. Students are able to use their Study Island account at school or at home and teachers can monitor their progress with the reports that are provided from the program. I think this site is an excellent resource for teachers to utilize in order to ensure that students are mastering the necessary standards. It can be very useful for differentiating instruction and using with small groups, or as a computer center station in the classroom.

TenMarks is an excellent resource to use for Math. This website is aligned with the Common Core Standards and provides students with excellent practice and understanding of each standard. The classroom teacher can sign her class up on the site and provide each student with a username and password. From there she can assign different problems for the class to solve based on the skills they are learning or have already learned. Each question has a video lesson and hints to support the students if they are struggling. TenMarks also automatically provides the students with an intervention or a re-teaching video if they continue to struggle with a concept. It also provides the teacher with reports on the progress of each student. This is something that my fifth grade colleagues and I started this year and it has been great!

This is a cool blog about technology and education.
