    I really like this website. It offers games, videos and photos all about animals and pets. There is also a tab to explore countries. I really like the Little kids Tab. This tab offers crafts and recipes, science experiements and games for little ones. The website is easy to navigate and is very kid friendly.

    This site has some very basic graphic organizers such as daily assignment recorders and outline planners for writing. It also has some more detailed items such as geography patterns that can be printed and used for cut & paste model-making (eg. prisms, hexagons). The 1st 5 items are free, but after that you're directed to a 7 day free trial or a subscription deal (now only $39.95/yr!)

    Good resource for printable graphic organizers for a variety of purposes. No need to re-invent the wheel!

    There is a subscription but also a lot of free printables.
  • Joan Krzyzanowski on 18 Sep 11
     
    Hurray, forms I can type on. Look under "printables". Looks like you could use the graphics on a smartboard, too.

    An amazing number of games. Students can make postcards on "Cyberspace". This was a good followup for math; could be used as a reward.

    Google earth allows students to visit places all around the world without having to leave their seat. It is a great learning tool to be used in conjunction with any history curriculum.

    I agree with using this on the whiteboard. Also, the graphic is simple and non-distracting, so kids who have a problem with visual perception would have an easier time with the visual organization using this tool.
  • Kris Lincoln on 18 Sep 11
     
    Good option when you do not have access to a more robust graphic organizer program. The export option works with out registering with the site.

    By playing Sheppard Software's geography games, you will gain a mental map of the world's continents, countries, capitals, & landscapes! You can learn and practice by continent or by state. There are three levels.

    This is an amazing website. There are engaging and interactive lessons and games for students of differing abilities. This would be a great site for my classroom of students with special needs who need some exposure to world geography but in a simplified and engaging manner.

    Not only can this site be used as a whole class lesson but children can access independently with different skill levels.
  • Amanda Notz on 21 Aug 11
     
    I also enjoy having the various games and the various levels. This would be great for students who finish their work and can practice various geographic skills!
  • Joan Krzyzanowski on 21 Aug 11
     
    The games help the student learn in multiple ways visually and auditorially. There are prompts to help the student along. I like it!

    This is great. There's even a link called, "What's up in Symphony?" with links for performance dates and tic purchases (but we'd have to go to SF to use it:)

    A wonderful site to learn all about the instruments, composers, and musical composition. This would be a lot of fun to explore for kids who are beginning to learn to play an instrument.
