GradeFix - 0 views

  •  
    GradeFix is an online homework planner for students to use. They can keep track of homework, exams, papers, and even due dates. I think this would be an awesome resource for High School Students to use. One downside -- the cost of this site is $5/month, however, if they invite a friend it is free AND if they do some sort of graphic design for the site they can also get it for free -- so for those students that could use the extra push to be organized this would be a great site!

    This website offers students the opportunity to practice their math facts. There is addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills to practice. The site is designed for first through fifth graders. I think that students would like the site because they could create their own character and challenge other players. Also, I've had parents ask for math sites that they could use at home with their kids. I would probably recommend this site.

My Da Vinci-Photo - 0 views

  •  
    This website takes regular photos and turns them into a piece of art. A normal photograph could be turned into an oil painting, a modern design (Andy Warhol, etc.), or you can even have a photo put on canvas. This isn't free, but it would be great to use for a photography club. It could also be used as an art lesson. A class could have a photo contest and the winner could get the photo made onto a canvas. The possibilities are endless. A great website (and tool) to know about!
