Kids on the Net - 1 views

    This website offers students from all across the country to enter their writings. This website can help students not only improve their writing skills, but it would also give the students the opportunity to interact with other students from all across the world. This will give them a new look into diversity, and it will give them the opportunity to have new friends. I would use this website in my classroom to help let the students interact with the other people. Also, this website would help them realize the importance of writing. It would also give them the feeling of accomplishment because their writings could be published. This website would be very helpful because they could also look up what other students had to say about certain subjects.

MICDS United States History Course - Course Overview - 0 views

  •  
    The site uses an electronic timeline that serves as backbone for the entire coursework throughout the year. Students post all work to the site. This includes individual and collective research work, a writing component, factual assessments, and an emphasis on presentation, collaboration and discussion. The site places an emphasis on active learning that they hope will strengthen skill development (technology, research, historiography, communication). The end of year the students produce a substantial final project.

MyPyramid Blast Off - 0 views

  •  
    MyPyramid Blast Off Game is an interactive computer game where students can reach "Planet Power" by fueling their rockets with food and physical activity. "Fueling" tanks for each food group helps students keep track of how their choices fit into MyPyramid. Students will create menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack. They will also have to choose a physical activity. If they get the correct amount of healthy foods in their tanks and the correct amount of physical activity their "blast off" will go smoothly. Otherwise their "blast off" will fail.

Welcome to ClassBrain.com - 2 views

    You can search many subjects. I searched for punnett square practice and a punnett square calculator. The URL is http://www.classbrain.com/artteensb/publish/creating_punnett_squares.shtml. This is a really neat site, and it complements my lesson plan well. Under working out punnett square examples, there is an interactive quiz, where students can keeping choosing answers until they find the right one. There are quizzes for both monohybrid and dyhybrid crosses. Also, under the punnett square calculator, students can choose mono or dihybrid gametes to cross. The F1 generation appears. After doing an in-class lab on punnett squares, it could be fun for students to play around with this calculator to compare their results with what the calculator actually gets. It's a fun way for them to check their work, and have fun, maybe without realizing they're learning.

Siftables - 0 views

  •  
    Siftables are small, block-like smart objects that include a display and the ability to sense their own location and orientation and the proximity of other Siftables. They are sort of like high tech versions of the building blocks with letters and numbers we used as children. The can play music, form words, and other exciting functions. IF I had these in my classroom I would definitely use them in math. On the website it shows a video of siftables with numbers on them and you can arrange say 5 + 3 = each on a different siftable. On the last siftable it will produce the answer when you line them up. This way children get an instant answer. You could also use it with spelling which can also be seen on the video on the website.

    This is a service that allows the user to keep track of the web pages they have visited, and keeps them in a usable order. The service is free. I can see this being beneficial in the classroom because the majority of student research is conducted with online tools. This service allows you to keep track of where your research has taken you, even if you don't bookmark every relevant page. It also will provide a safety net for novice researchers, who won't have to spend another hour looking back to see where they found a specific example or piece of information.

  •  
    This website has games for kids to play and practice what they know. There are different categories so while on this one site a child would be able to practice skills in science, math, English, language, health, and computer skills. In each of these categories there are many different games that cover different areas. In the math category for example there are games about money, adding/subtracting, and place value. There are plenty more but those are just a few. In the science category there are games about animals, body and space. The games are in order of course level. This site is generally for younger children. It lets them practice skills while playing a fun game. They are very simple games and a young child would catch on very easily.

Lesson Plans For K-12 Teachers - 0 views

  •  
    My reasons for choosing this website are based on three simple points. One, it is a website that offers a lot or resources, not only lesson plans but themes, tips, worksheets ect. My second reason for choosing this website is not only does it offer a lot of tools a teacher can use, but it gives other sites-for information as well. For example, if you search Special Education in the tool bar it will give you options where you can read about disorders and disabilities, it also gives you the possibility to join groups such as, Special Education Support Groups. My last reason for choosing this website is because-it is HUGE. This website seems to be endless, in a very great way! It is super easy to maneuver around and figure things out, yet it gives so much information and ideas. It is a great website, I will take lesson plans, ideas, strategies off of the website, so it would be great for a parent or guardian to see what I use as a reference.

Classical Net - 0 views

  •  
    website focused on classical composers and repertoire. This website will be a good learning tool for my learning project because it has small biographies on each of the composers I have chosen to put on my list. It will give the students information and it will help them get started on the project. There are also other helpful parts of this website, like being able to look at literature and articles and links to other articles and websites. Students can learn more about pieces they play other than just who wrote them and how they sound.

The Ustream.TV Blog » Blog Archive » A Live Lesson on George Washington - Pul... - 0 views

  •  
    It's kind of like Skype but it's more for educational use. I was thinking about using this tool in my classroom and perhaps videoconferencing with my sister and mom who are also elementary music teachers. Maybe I could set it up so that we co-teach a lesson on music together, or maybe sing a duet with the other classroom of music students using the videoconferencing. It'd be fun for the kids to see other kids in music that are all the way in the southwest corner of the United States, since my sister teaches in Arizona. This would be something I'd definitely think about using.

Penguin--Treasure Hunt - 0 views

  •  
    website is a "Treasure Hunt of Penguin Facts." The Treasure Hunt consists of about 12 questions that require the student to research the penguin information on the Sea World website, so that they can find the correct answers for the Treasure Hunt. If the student scores well enough on the Treasure Hunt questions, they might be inducted into the "Explorer's Hall of Fame." The Treasure Hunt is just a fun way to get the students motivated to learn and read through the information about penguins. The combination of these two websites gives students the opportunity to learn about penguins in an exciting hunt for penguin facts.

Travel Guides, Hotel Reviews, Photos, Forums, Deals - VirtualTourist.com - 0 views

  •  
    This website enables my students to search the world, either by continent, country, or city. For example, if we were studying Spain in my classroom, I could have my students each have an assigned "site to see" from Spain and they could go here, look up all the information about it, get a picture, and see where on the map it is located. For me, this would be extremely helpful in a Geography classroom, or in a Language classroom when studying cultures or places in the world that are famous. This site could also be very helpful if a person was planning a trip to a foreign country, or city/town.

    Art can be inspired from anything, sometimes having art, a story, and music work together is another form of art. The above mentioned website contains games for children in art classes that have good examples for the combination of the formerly mentioned subjects. Some of the games have animation that flows with the background music with it. This shows how art can be used to follow or show music in a visual form. This way students can better understand the relations between the art and music.
