I was searching for more interesting sites to see provide me with back up that video games should be used in the classroom and I stumbled across a web site called. http://www.artificialwisdom.com/ that claims to rate games by how much your student can learn from them.
One more website I use from time to time. Internet4classrooms is a great site because you can find your topic and grade and you can access a bunch of projects, websites, and also lesson plans. My kids are in the prehistory chapter and I used a lesson plan from this site in which students can only use cave man sign language to talk the entire and they loved it!
Hey guys! If you are a sixth grade social studies teacher like myself, this is the place to go.Utah;s standards are pretty close to the Next Gen Sunshine State standards and you can go to this site and search for a standard and it has a lesson plan that you can download. I come to this site from time to time when I get stumped on what to do. Enjoy!!!
