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.

Free Printables : Letter Mash : SEN Teacher ~ Free teaching resources for Special Needs. - 0 views

    This site provides free and simple "printables" for teachers. It is more of a resource for the teacher than for the student, but in my classroom, that's what is going to be most practical most often.

Treeture Treasure - 0 views

    At this site, the kids will be able to practice skills, enrich their skills, and review. Once you enter the website, there are various "treetures" that you can click on. If you click on Mama Greenleaf, she will go through all of the leaves with you. When the student put's their mouse over the solid leaves, they change to real life pictures. The kids can learn facts about the leaves here. The site helps students review the three types of leaves in which they are learning about (simple, compound, and conifer). There is even a quiz that they can take. I'm using this website because it lets the students to learn/review at their own pace and not feel pressured. The parent's could also assist the students to discover the other areas of interests on this site such as twigs, branches, forests, planting trees, etc.

Simplified Web Interface for Teachers - 0 views

  •  
    The K-12 Horizon Report suggested SWIFT as a site to aid teachers in communication via the web with their students and parents. SWIFT stands for Simplified Web Interface for Teachers. For schools that do not have their websites set up for teachers to have their individual pages, this is a great solution. Teachers are able to design a site without needing to know HTML or software programs and are able to post announcements, assign homework, start discussions and give practice quizzes. SWIFT can be integrated with an existing site and created with the same color and design scheme to fit in with a present district site. Having created websites before, I think options like this are fabulous for creating a decent-looking and usable site.

AlgebraLAB: Making Math and Science Connections - 0 views

    I feel like this would be very good to use as a resource in my classroom. As a middle school math teacher, I will be using a lot of algebra in my class. This would be a very helpful site to use as practice or review. Rather than having students bring their books home to complete their homework, they could just log into the site and complete the problems.

Another neat thing on factmonster.com is that it will ask you if you are a boy or girl, and then what grade you are in. Once it ask you, a random fact will pop up for the internet surfer to read.

Smarthistory: a multimedia web-book about art and art history - 0 views

  •  
    The site has a timeline of art history, information on different artists, and different art styles. In my classroom, I could take the whole class to computer lab and teach them about different styles of art in art history. I could then have them each try to duplicate one of the styles. They could also look at some of the famous artwork and artist as an inspiration.

    This is a website where children can review what nouns are. There is also a place to go for learning Proper nouns, concrete and abstract nouns, but I would only use this site as a way for students to review and have fun.

Kidinfo.com - Your Guide to Educational Powerpoints for Learning - 0 views

    This website would work in a third grade classroom perfect. I think that it would work perfect because it is very easily to access. It is also very easy to use because all the lessons are setup for you and ready to use. The materials that are in this website are perfect for this age group. Some of the categories are: Art, Famous Explorers, Library skills, and math mathematics I would work them into my lesson by asking the kids to take turns reading what's on the overhead and then we would stop to talk about what we learned. We would also have quizzes after our PowerPoint presentation on what we talked about.
