      This might be of interest to English teachers; I want to do a PBL unit on the future of fiction and thought this might be a great place for learners to start thinking about what books can be...

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Using this interactive game, students have to use the right amount of heat/light and water to help their plant grow. This is great to use if you don't have the time to actually plant something in the classroom!

    This is neat! I always do a unit on plants during spring. This would be a great tool to use during the unit!

    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.

National Geographic Online - 1 views

    This is a great website for science videos, photographs and information for students and teachers to go through to find information. I love many of the videos you can look through to help make a lesson more concrete for students. However the videos are many and great they always start with advertisements which I do not like and think it takes away from the video. However if you look at the Kid version of National Geographic I did find they did not have advertisements before the video begins.

    Melanie, I am going to check this site out for videos on butterflies for my project. Thanks!

    Love this site!! My dad works for National Geographic, so I get all of the kids magazines that go along with the site. My third grades love it!

States of matter after activities - 0 views

    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.

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.

    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.

    This site is useful for elementary and middle school teachers who want to enhance their math curriculum by using interactive learning games. The site is organized by grade level and content, so teachers can easily assign particular games for the students to play. Teachers can set score goals for students to ensure they master a topic.

    Useful for middle or high school teachers, this kid-friendly, interactive website offers brief activities and narratives related to Greek theatre. I am currently using it to explain how the Oracle at Delphi became Apollo's seer.

Glogster - 0 views

    This is an online platform for educators and students with the technology to create GLOGS - online multimedia posters - with text, photos, videos, graphics, sounds, drawings, data attachments and more. This would allow students to display knowledge and skills to create multimedia projects. It allows students to use animations, web cams, audio, attachments and blogs in the creation of their projects. It also has a feature that allows students to share their work with particular individuals or social networks. A subscription to this tool is as cheap as $10 for a whole year. They have other levels for pricing as well.
