Planets For Kids - Solar System Facts and Astronomy - 0 views

    Written by a kid, this website provides information about space for elementary age students in kid-friendly language. This site would be useful as one of several sources for elementary research about space. I like the design of the site, the large font size, and that the information is broken into bullets within each topic. I do not like that the site has ads, but there are not as many as on some other "kid" sites.

    Julia, This is a great site. It works well with your scavenger hunt and it has a lot of information. Thanks for sharing a site I will use in my own classroom.

    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.

    I love this- thanks for sharing! The digital toolkit is a gold mine of resources. I particularly like how it gives additional information beyond just the link. I also like the role cards. Since I have trouble with students working in groups, this could be a fun way to assign jobs and attempt to keep things on track!

    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.

    I used this activity to end my scavenger hunt. It is very interactive and would be of great use on the Smartboard or other whiteboard. It is a good wrap up activity or a reteach activity depending on the needs of the student.

    National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) is a national organization that develops voluntary certification for accomplished teaching.  Look at the Five Core Propositions, which underly all accomplished teaching, and the standards in your specific area. You can use them to reflect on your own teaching. You may also want to apply for National Board Certification, which is a high recognition across the country .

    Thanks for sharing KW. I plan on exploring this option as I chart out my career path.

    Thanks for sharing! Maybe after my master's is finished I will look into being National Board Certified.

    This software is a game-based program that works on many areas in mathematics. the targeted grade levels are 1-5. I have used the software, and I found myself on it longer than expected. for the most part, I liked how the software is designed. I appreciate the gaming aspect of the software. It doesn't make you feel like you're just doing math work to do. I believe that the only thing that i wasn't to big on was that it doesn't really separate the different grade levels. They do breakdown the different math areas. Overall I would recommend this software.

    Questia is a library research tool for students to assist them in writing research papers.  Since most students do not have easy access to databases with more reliable sources, Questia provides students with tools to improve their research skills.  The site also provides students with tutorials to help them improve their writing and researching.  I have begun to implement some resources to help my high schools students improve their research skills, which is an area they often struggle in.  This seems to be the most promising tool for achieving that goal.

      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.

    For any elementary (or even secondary!) teachers, this is a great site with animated videos for math and science topics. They have tutorials on how to solve different math problems, and explanations on any science topics. You can always pause the video to have discourse when needed.

    This website gives great definitions about various math topics at the middle and high school level. I am not a big fan of this page because it does not give good examples for students. However, I think it is a good teacher tool for getting the information to the students and gathering activities to do in the classroom. I will be using this in my WebQuest for students to research characteristics of a cube.

    This is a great website for students to find videos on many math concepts at the middle and high school levels. The videos give step by step examples to help students through specific problems. It is an easy website for students to search for what they need. I have even recommended this website to some of my parents who tell me that they have trouble helping their children at home because they do not know the material.
  • Kaelyn Stieg on 20 Jun 13
     
    I know other teachers who have used these successfully in secondary education. I have personally viewed some videos when I was going for a dual certification in technology, as there were some physics concepts I needed to review. Great recommendation!

    This bookmark is for 3rd graders and up, although I think some of the activities might be a little above grade level. One of the things I had trouble with was a culminating activity for my scavenger hunt. I have found this PDF file that has several of them. I am looking to use the cut and paste activity so the students can have a wrap up activity for the scavenger hunt.

    This is a site that can put interactive links into a online photograph. I am going to have students create their own Thinglink when we begin reading "A House on Mango Street." This will serve as a mini research project. If that goes well, I will probably also use this tool with my theatre classes when the Tony nominations are announced- the students will make a Thinglink that captures the history of the awards and the current nominees. The students will be able to imbed video clips for many of the shows.

    PebbleGo is an early childhood research base for young children learning to read. Information is child friendly and includes many pictures and videos to enrich student learning. PebbleGo has a read aloud feature that allows text to be read to the audience, if necessary. It also has online games relating to topics on PebbleGo and printable resources. This resource requires login information and can be purchased as a subscription by an entire school.

    Pebble Go is an excellent online resource for student reserach. This site is divided up by category of science, social studies, and biographies. Students use this interactive website to learn about different academic content areas. For each topic, readings, videos, games, and audio recordings are provided. This allows students of all ability levels to be able to access the information and understand the content. My students love this site as it is a great starting point for any reserach project!
