It's great when websites use actual pictures and videos to teach.

This website appears to be updated often, which is an important feature!

You can't go wrong with National Geographic! Multiple forms of representation and engagement for everyone.

This site allows the user to easily create a cartoon with backgrounds, text captions, thought bubbles, characters and objects. The cartoon can be printed at the end. Only downside is that it is in black and white, there does not appear to be a color option.

Very fun :)

Lots of fun and so easy to use!

Can print, email, and publish stories that students create.

Great Tool. I think I like this one the best of the mind mapping tools. bolder colors and thicker lines, shapes.

Would help kids who keep using the same words and/or need help describing their ideas.

This was an interesting tool. It was a great way to see how your word is related to other words

Great tool! Easy to Use for teachers and students. There is a paid version and a free version. Paid version gives you more options for characters and backgrounds. I used this site to create a digital social story.

It took awhile to learn the various features and how to get the characters to move/actions. But once you get it it is fun!

Very cute! Users can be very creative and so easy to make educational, (social stories, instructions, etc)

This website offers tons of games that are interactive, fun, and provide positive reinforcement for the students when they get the right answer. These games are good for reinforcing information learned in the classroom

sessions are broken down by grade level and curriculum area

this is a nice reward and reinforcement site. Simple and hard games many with literary and language arts themes. Would like it more if it was switch accessible.

This is a nice site again a good reinforcement and reward site

CNN Student News offers podcasts for students to subscribe to, blogs to respond to, and daily news quizzes and interactives.

For the kids who love sports, this site has opportunities to make cartoons, write stories, solve puzzles, watch videos, read, etc. Would be a good way to motivate the reluctant reader or writer.

I think this would be a great reinforcer for a student who loves sports!!!

I like this website for students who are interested in sports. However, the readability of a lot of the articles is quite high. This would be a difficult website for struggling readers to access as the language in the articles is advanced for lower elementary students.

This site offers articles about wild and domestic animals with videos, basic care info, fundraiser/how to help info as well as what is being done to help info. This would be helpful with the endangered species g4 project as well as general animal education or community outreach/awareness projects. Caution: It's very sad:(

This site would be for upper middle school and higher students. It presents news stories in a Facebook like listing that you can click on and read the full article. It does present some controversial topics that may not be appropriate for younger readers.

a digital form of an updated weekly reader.

This magazine is very accessible! I have seen the multiple reading levels used in the classroom setting. Students are getting the same information but the text is written with vocabulary and structure that is appropriate for their current reading level. Great Magazine for any classroom!

The school I work in uses this and everyone loves it!
