Great resource for learning more about research studies and findings. The National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance. Can learn about research studies in progress or look at specific categories such as ELL, teacher quality, Math, etc... This bookmark links to "Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Educational Technology Interventions"
This is a site I have used last year and will start very soon using with my students. There are excellent online simulations for math and science students with comprehensive lesson pages for teachers and students. There is a 30-day free trial as well...
Brynn thanks for sharing a great web site! I use this site throughout the school year with my class since it includes a variety of subjects. I have the ELL cluster for my grade level so I will definitely be using the ELL section often.
Brain Pop is a wonderful website for all grades and ages. This website offers great games and interactive lesson activities in all content areas. Students really enjoy this website.
Animated Science, Health, Technology, Math, Social Studies, Arts & Music and English movies, quizzes, activity pages and school homework help for K-12 kids, aligned with state standards
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.
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.
Teacher videos, resources and lesson plans. Discover great ideas and strategies to use as a teacher with this collection of videos covering Math, Science, English, History and more.
This is the Teaching Channel's website filled with educator resources. I have found several Science lab ideas from this site. Many resources are standards based and grounded in STEM research, but there are resources for all subject areas. There are also videos available that show lessons in practice.
A great site for students and teachers to use for virtual labs and activities. It offers virtual labs and activities for science and math subject areas for grades K-12 and even higher education.
"Love it! My students and my own children can't wait to get on the computer, and I then have a hard time stopping them from using the site!" Special education teacher, Elmhurst, Illinois, U.S.A. "Thanks to IXL, our students' performance has increased dramatically.
This is a neat site! I did some of the questions for first grade fractions and chose the wrong answer on purpose. It provides a visual and explanation for the correct answer. Thanks! I will use this in the future.
All grades, all skills, provides explanation when students are incorrect, rewards, goals, badges to earn! It isn't free, but get enough teachers on board and your school could purchase for everyone. Teachers are sent class reports: we print them out and hang them up outside our classrooms "Miss Sipe's class has answered 3,000 problems on IXL"
With the inception of Common Core standards and The No Child Left Behind Act, all educators require teaching literacy across the curriculum. Getting kids to write, especially the weaker writers, can be a challenge in itself but getting kids to write about math can be even more challenging - unless you use blogging as your literacy tactic.
