Starfall.com opened in September of 2002 as a free public service to teach children to read with phonics. Our systematic phonics approach, in conjunction with phonemic awareness practice, is perfect for preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, special education, homeschool, and English language development (ELD, ELL, ESL).
A site aimed towards the primary years. Used this during my internship in a kindergarten classroom. Not only did the kids love it, they were able to interact with many of the aspects during the free time on one of the PCs in the classroom, or during the morning circle on the SMART board.
This is a great site for children ages 2-8. It teaches pre-reading as well as reading skills up to 2nd grade. Includes games, animated stories, songs, and writing activities. I use it daily!
Starfall is a free website that teaches children how to read through phonics. It has practice games on phonemic awaresness. The program is great for grades K-2, second language learners and special education.
I found an online gradebook based on standards rather than points. It records the learning instead of the grade the student earned. I like the idea, but I do not think public school would use it without grades as well.
A very useful tool for middle school and high school teachers, and maybe even later elementary grades. Not very useful to me as a first grade teacher, but when students are asked to do research papers, and they start citing Wikipedia as a reliable source, teachers should utilize this. :)
For any middle/high school teachers who plan on having their students write research papers - to avoid Wikipedia and other unreliable sources students may find via simple Google searches. :)
Power my Learning is a website dedicated to providing Teachers, Studenst and Parents with additional tech resources in all subjects and grade levels. You can watch videos, click on your grade level or subject area and find activities and games, and even read teacher blogs.
Open Educational Resources page provided by the California Learning Resource Network. Many resources for educators categorized by subject, standard, grade level, etc. Visitors can narrow searches by using the filter feature on the sidebar menu, or use the browse feature under the Open Resources Tab on the menu bar at the top of the screen to specify subject, grade, type of resource, etc.
Fun learning site for teachers and students featuring thousands of free educational games and activities that are organized by subject, topic, theme, and grade level.
This website has a good assortment of online games for many subject areas. There is also a section of pre-school read alouds to explore. Be careful! As this website is a free site, there are some ads along the sides and top of the pages.
This is a fun and educational website! There are some things it asks you to download from itunes, but there are many, many games and apps available for free. This site offers great math and language arts computer games for elementary students grades k-5.

CPALMS is an online toolbox of information, vetted resources, and interactive tools that helps educators effectively implement teaching standards. It is the State of Florida’s official source for standards information and course descriptions.
From FLDOE site - but also a site that we live by in 5th grade at my school. Gives access to sample FCAT questions based on standards, as well as videos and other resources online that can be used.
Great teacher resources for all grade levels. Includes lesson plans for each subject area based on standards, free printables, virtual manipulatives, and a scheduling component.
This is by far the best site the DOE has to offer. The curriculum maps are easy to design and there is a plethora of lesson plans for each standard for every grade level to work with. This is especially nice when you have little resources from your district!
This seems to be the go to site for teachers right now. I use this a lot to help me with my lesson plans and to find out what technology resources are available.
CPALMS is the official site of the FDOE standards and course description. The site includes educator toolkits, lesson plan development tools and interactive tools for lesson planning and creation
The Seminole County School District offers a link to this website. It provides information about the standards and curriculum benchmarks for each grade and each subject area.
In an attempt to examine dialogue within a second grade classroom, students were encouraged to participate in whole-class mathematics discussions without raising their hands before speaking. Beneficial social and sociomathematical norms developed in place of this traditional social norm. Effects of this change on the dialogue and written mathematical explanations of a class of second grade students are described. Focus was placed on student participation in whole-class discussions. The study helped to determine the effects of student-centered dialogue on students' mathematical explanations and justifications as demonstrated in the students' discussions, participation, and written expression related to their mathematics learning.
For only $2.50 per month educators can have access to an app that:
- require no Internet to make, take, scan, or score a quiz
- track student's progress towards standards
- sharing information
- group sessions
All in all, it is very time consuming. Looking forward to trying this app that will be released on FEB 15

I have used this in the classroom before and think that it has some great information on historical events put in terms younger children will understand.
I know other people have posted Ben's Guide, but here's the K-2 section of the web site, which includes games and activities, as well as additional links and resources for the students. I particularly like the subtopic about "My Neighborhood," as it is relevant to what I will be teaching my students in my own classroom and I love supplemental material!
