Free eBooks at Planet eBook - Classic Novels and Literature - 0 views

    Free classic literature at you fingertips on this beautifully designed web site. Very straight forward and simple to use, anyone at any age can find a classic here. Very little support offered as this is really just a list of books you can read electronically. I think its great because you can read all the classics and learn what good literature is here. Great for students.

Rubistar - 6 views

  •  
    This free website allows teachers to create custom rubrics. It is a great tool to use if you have trouble creating rubrics and setting different criteria. You can create a rubric based on a template with the following subjects: oral projects, multimedia, math, writing, products, reading, art, work skills, science, music, and reading. You can also save your rubrics online, and export them to a word processor. This site is mostly for teachers to create a rubric. Its usability is acceptable, although the navigation takes some time to get used to. This website does not seem to be undated frequently and that copyright date says 2007-2008. Overall, this website is extremely helpful to teachers when it comes to making a rubric, and differentiating criteria. There is a tutorial available on how to use rubistar, and a contact us page for support.

Voxy - 1 views

  •  
    I came across this website not too long ago and was surprised by the type of approach it uses to help ESL students learn English. Voxy uses current articles from world news, pop culture, as well as sports to help students learn. This would be a great tool that can be used in an ESL classroom. As the student reads an article, s(he) can click on highlighted words in the text and hear the words pronounced. By clicking the highlighted words, they also become automatically generated into a vocabulary list that the students could learn. The lists could very well be used for quizzes and games. The website is available in both English and Spanish. It is free and very easy to use. Check it out.

    It appears that sparknotes was originally designed to be used as a footnote - intended to summarize books required for reading. This site is well organized and easy to use and students would be crazy not to use this site. It is organized intoseveral tabs - Spark notes guides (provides summaries and analysis - 500 guides for Literature and a number for History, Math, and Biology), No Fear Shakespear, SparkCollege (info on colleges including intro videos0, Test prep (for standardized tests), Flashcards, Miss Marm (writing help), Spark Test (self-evaluation), and Spark Life which is all about school life. It appears to be free with up to date valid information and all your support questions can be answered under the help tab.

    This is a free website, which has a huge list of free tales. It is easy to use and it is meant for students in grade 3rd and up. It is a great resource, which can be used in a language arts classroom. Students can identify parts of speech and refer back to the tale of choice. It is great.
