Get The Math - 2 views

  •  
    This is a website that helps connect students to the real world. It take a wide array of places you use math and sometimes don't think about it, like sports, music, fashion, restaurants and so many more. Videos are shown to show how math and the topic relate to each other and then students are given a task to help figure out using math. Students will be so engaged that they will forget they are even doing math!

    This is a great site for teachers that has free feature and a cheap pay feature. The free feature will still give educators access to worksheets, but with the paid for version you can edit the worksheets to fit more of your classroom style. This helps tie real world problems into the math classroom, helping with the age old question "When will I ever use this." Hopefully this connection will help students not only enjoy math but remember it more too.

    Not every school has the resources necessary to take their students on an airplane . . . or spaceship. The iPad can bring the world to your students' fingertips in ways never before possible. Many national parks and museums have apps designed for onsite visitors.

Edmodo is a cool tool to use with the students to increase engagement outside the classroom. It looks a lot like Facebook so the students are familiar with how to use it. I use to have off site d...

Great World Language Resources - 5 views

  •  
    I have been exhausting this website for resources since I first discovered her through Twitter. I apologize that it's another language resource, but she has great activities for all different levels of proficiency and languages. The presentation and units with resources are aligned with ACTFL standards.

    This site provides great, authentic resources in varying levels of proficiency for languages. The students can listen, decide how much guidance they need and complete a game like activity to practice vocabulary covered. I have used it as an audio resource in the classroom for incorporating cultural viewpoints and reinforcement of vocabulary. It does have a fee to become a member and students cost more.

    I have used this in my personal life to get together with busy friends. Can be a great way to coordinate meetings, especially when a "meet every Tuesday" strategy doesn't work well for you.

Storybird - Artful Storytelling - 2 views

    A great Web 2.0 tool for creative writing. This would be useful in a Social Studies class for students to work together to create a story based on the time period being studied. I have found this very easy to use.

    Web 2.0 tool that allows you to add content, links, pictures, etc. to primary sources and other written works. This would be especially useful in a Social Studies class to add biographies and links to background information for primary documents. It would also be a good activity to have the students work together to create a cirriculet on a primary source of the time period being studied. I have found this to be very user-friendly.

Podio - 2 views

  •  
    As an "online work platform with a new take on how everyday work gets done," students could use Podio as a school social network devoted to thier studies. Much like a Facebook account, students would use Podio to complete assignments and discuss classroom content. This collaborative tool can also be used as a place students could use to complete projects and group work assignments. This sort of experience would be effective for teachers looking to have students working with other students from different schools/districts on a common project. This could be useful with Project Based Learning assignments as well.
  •  
    I see that Podio is targeting higher ed students, and wonder whether it would be to risky to use it in k12. See: http://blog.podio.com/2011/11/16/podios-free-university-program-supports-students-the-real-future-of-work/ There's no teacher control board as there is in Diigo, for example.

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.

Slide Rocket - 1 views

    I am eager to test out Slide Rocket. Seems like it surpasses PowerPoint and allows users to share and collaborate.

    I just tried to use Slide Rocket and see that they are not accepting new users. They appear to have shifted to a company called clear view that is more for corporate use.
