Lots of ideas for teachers

Wrds is an on-line vocabulary testing program. Simply enter your words and allow yourself to be tested.

As one of the top free educational games sites on the web, you would probably expect Sheppard Software to have a strong representation here. Logic games, word games, puzzle games, and strategy games are just some of the great brain training tools on offer here. They activities themselves may not be quite as slick as some of the sites on here, but the skills involved will test young minds as much as anything else out there. Castle Defense is a perennial favorite, but Maze Race and Bouncing Balls are also worth a mention. The only drawback with these games is that they tend to be a little short and only offer one level. However, sometimes that is a good thing too, especially with younger learners. Read more: http://www.brighthub.com/education/k-12/articles/106947.aspx?p=2#ixzz1EGadkx23

Need word/math puzzles for older students? This could be the place for that extra home learning or class problem (projecter)

Go Synonym Girl!! Fast paced game.

Are you interested in using games in your classroom but just cant find ones that match your curriculum? Have you tried to create video or board games for your classroom only to be overwhelmed by the amount of time and effort required just to produce them? If you answered yes to these questions, this web site is for you. This site contains downloadable games, game templates, and utilities that teachers and trainers can use to enhance any lesson.

So easy...sigh.

Language/spelling homework anyone? hopefully this might help.

Too beautiful for words!

Enter the UOI and Lines of Inquiry and see where it takes us! Beautiful first session with each class.

There's just so much science, nature, music, arts, technology, storytelling and assorted good stuff out there that my kids (and maybe your kids) haven't seen. It's most likely not stuff that was made for them.

Hard to put into words, maybe it just is a wonderful collection of things that hopefully inspires questions in all our kids. Well worth a look.

Interesting new website which tracks and collates breaking news and then lets you see it.

If you're a scrapbooking fan, Skrappy will not disappoint. If you're not a scrapbooking fan, Skrappy just might turn you into one. It is very robust, runs great, and is so much more enjoyable than the traditional way of cutting paper, handling glue, and realizing you need to redo a page because you've misspelled a word. (Scrapbooking was never my thing).

Nice, a way to model students thinking and problem solving. Definitely worth a go.

Magnetic words for kids/teachers
