gText. Free Group Texting. A network of group communication. Great for sending reminders to colleagues or student's parents.

I loved using this site to help my students practice skills in reading and math prior to completing science practice. Unfortunately the science test is testing reading comprehension as much as it tests science. If students are great at hands on experiments but cannot associate a paragraph of written material to the hands on activity, then they will not do well on FCAT Science. FCAT Explorer will help with those skills prior to science lessons.

FCAT Explorer is a free, online educational program for Florida's students that reinforces reading and math skills outlined in the Sunshine State Standards.

Isn't FCAT going away?

Visual thesaurus -- especially good with Smartboards when students struggle with words during a lesson.

Graph Words is a free visualization tool to explore English dictionary and thesaurus, helps you to search the meaning of words and other associated words.

This site automatically converts text from one language to another language. This site is easy for the student to identify all the languages by just typing the text to be converted into another language. A student can write and paste up to 1800 in the text box. This is very useful to use to learn a foreign language in classroom.

Students are able to go back in and recreate their avatars (which are little monsters). You can give points for participation, teamwork, working hard, being on task, etc... and take away points for being disrespectful, not doing homework, etc. A useful tool that is both a website and an app. Currently free to use - but if you're not already signed up, they are going to start charging for it next school year (I suggest sign up!).

"'Animated Educational Video Clips"

This is an animated site for kids. Sight contains information in all subject areas. There is a fee to use all of the site but they provide some free material as well. I like the clear explanations they have on the topics.

An awesome website for elementary students! The videos can also be added to Nearpod lessons and viewed with headsets.

Pete's Power Point contains hundreds of free Power Point presentations on all core subjects for both primary and secondary educators. All of the Power Points can be downloaded and used as is, or you can alter them to fit your lesson and teaching style.    

This website is definitely worth bookmarking! There are numerous premade PowerPoints for all content areas. It would be very helpful for anyone who has a projector or uses a TV for instruction. These PowerPoints could be used as an introduction or for reviewing content before an assessment.

This site is a part of the Florida Department of Education's website, however, it is a separate part that is just for teachers. It provides information on different conferences or workshops that educators can attend, or great field trip ideas that are free for classes.

Awesome timeline website!
