IXL math practice - Subtraction word problems - up to 18 (Second grade) - 1 views
-
This tool provides teachers with the data needed to track students' progress on solving word problems. IXL gives students different word problems to solve. These problems could be solved in a small-group rotation. This would help students identify the steps and method they are using. Also, students would be able to take their time to solve these problems in their elementary school classroom.
-
This tool provides pre-k to 12 additional support/practice with math concepts. Teachers are able to assign a skill to practice in class or at home. Teachers are able to access reports by concept and time spent. Down side is the cost of IXL. -
I use this website for fluency practice and lesson extensions with my small group math instruction. My first graders enjoy the games.

Wiggio is a great resource for collaboration within groups. The site allows users to post important dates within a shared calendar, use to do lists and assign specific tasks to group members and my favorite of all, send text/voice messages to remind group members of important info.
Symbaloo - 1 views

This is a neat way to organize links to videos and websites and access them in the Cloud. This can act as a bookmarking tool. You can create a Symbaloo for your students that houses links for research, tools for formating, and helpful sites for assignments. This type of site takes the "Google it" mentality out of the equation; you provide the links to where you want to direct students when they engage with the technology. This site could be applicable for any grade level or any discipline. This is a free resource, but you must create an account.

If you use rubrics in your classroom but hate starting from scratch, this is the the place for you! Sign up for free and search by keyword for rubrics in the specific skill or content area you are grading. Then edit and save! You can even put a link to your rubric on the assignment directions, saving paper and trees! This is a link to a rubric I recently created, but you can get to the home page from here.

This looks great - I am always looking for help with rubrics. Check out Kathy Schrok's guide too: http://www.schrockguide.net/assessment-and-rubrics.html -
I really like this! I love that you can embed the link to the rubric. This would be very helpful with a WebQuest or Scavenger Hunt lesson. I have used Rubistar before. It is similar, but I think this site offers more options. http://rubistar.4teachers.org/
Google Drive- EDTC 600 - 0 views

Google drive is a great online collaboration resource. I recently had the opportunity to participate in a training called "iPad pair share." At the training we collaborated with about 40 other educators through Google drive. Throughout the training we were able to write down our thoughts or questions on different online/iPad tools. This would be great tool for students to collaborate on class projects or assignments. The only problem with this is that you have to have an account, which requires all the students to have an account to use this.

Rich, We have started using Google Drive in our school and it has also been embraced countywide. It has really helped our teachers streamline forms and spreadsheets. It has also served as a great host for housing static information like our handbook and policies. Finally, the calendar option has made it a one stop shop for information. I am a fan of Google Drive, but like you said you need to have an account to use it.

Quizlet is a tool that allows teachers to create flashcards, (mock-up) tests and study games. When designing activities, teachers can add pictures and voice over. Teachers can monitor their students' progress and the time they spend on the activities. The activities can be assigned by the teachers but students can go back to Quizlet on their own to review or prepare for an assessment.

This Quizlet activity offers students a way to study for a test, test their knowledge, and improve their competency in the subject. This is a tool which has many different functions and purposes; teacher can use it as a homework assignment, a redo qualifier, or even a warm up activity. This integrates technology in the classroom in a way which is not a burden or done simply because it can be, if integrated it adds to the experience without detracting from the content or user experience. -
Quizlet is a useful tool for the classroom. There is a library of "little quizes" already available for use in the class in a range of subjects. These allow students to review vocabulary, definitions and test their knowledge. There are various methods of reviewing the material, one example being flashcards. A teacher can also create their own lesson/quiz using Quizlet. The program could effectively be used to review for a test or as an exit ticket done in the class or at home.

Edmodo is a great tool - I have used it to help to flatten my classroom this year and have two different grade levels work together. I use it to post my lesson agenda with links to the resources as well as homework, assignments etc. It links to Google, you can upload files, you can conduct polls, have a schedule - it is safe, it promotes collaboration and self-support - it is brilliant.
-

Edmodo is also a great site to use for a class homepage. It's a good resources for students and teachers. We have Edline in our county but I think the personalization of this is better.

A teacher could use this in his or her classroom to help students brainstorm ideas in the writing process. I have used googledocs to insert a pre-writing template for students to complete prior to some writing assignments which fulfills a similar purpose. The resource could also be useful in helping you keep your agenda or priorities organized especially when working in a group.

For teachers looking to keep students learning even outside of the classroom, creating a blog platform for each classroom would be key. Edublogs can be used for e-portfolios and class sites. By uploading videos, pod-casts and notes, my language art students could have an interactive classroom to complete novel study discussions and assignments. In the past, I have used Edmodo and Edublogs is a similar platform. I would recommend for teachers.
Kidblog - 1 views

As a goal for the next school year, I have decided to include a blog that would accompany my teaching and assignments my students would complete throughout the year. Through my searching, I discovered Kidblog. According to the site, "Kidblog is designed for K-12 teachers who want to provide each student with an individual blog. Students publish posts and participate in academic discussions within a secure classroom blogging community." For my language arts students, they would use this tool by completing and discussing discussion questions relating to a novel study (we complete at least 4 throughout the year). In regards to writing, their personal blog would be a great place to stay organized with their process of writing. I also like how this platform allows students to start an e-portfolio, especially for their writing and composition samples.

This resource is appropriate for all grade levels, as it contains a variety of routines that can be applied to a wide range of content. There are routines that address most of the different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, so it is easy to find one to fit your needs. I haven't used the resource yet myself, but certainly will in the future. In addition, the Digital Toolkit provides links to dozens of other digital tools and breaks down their uses in education. This is a great place to find other educational technology.

Jared, Loved this site! I especially liked the thinking routine section. I enjoyed how direct and to the point it was. Thanks for sharing. -
This looks like a great resource - I will explore it in more detail. I do a lot of group work and am always looking for great ways to help learners organise themselves with this.
Praise, Question, Suggestion | EL Education - 4 views

This is a great resource for students to be able to work collaboratively to determine what they can do to make their writing better. The dimension I was focusing on was "impact on learning" from the protocol rubric. The SMART goal in our group is focused on students being able to complete a complex math assignment that requires multiple steps. Students also need to be able to explain their mathematics in written form to explain their thinking. This protocol of "praise, question, and suggestion" is a great resource that our students can use in order to make sure the writing aspect of their math makes sense and answers the question fully. I look forward to seeing the outcomes of utilizing this idea. Based on this, I would score the praise, question, suggestion tactic as a 3 or a 4.
