Differentiating our classrooms and providing choice is always a challenge. This website offers basic templates to get started with in creating menu and choice boards (tic-tac-toe boards). It is from another district but has some useful links. I like to see what resources other discticts are using.

IXL - Math For All Learners - 0 views

Deborah Goss on 25 Jun 12

Math is a deficit area for most students. This web based program is excellent in motivating students to learn math concepts. It allows students to start at various levels. It provides immediate feedback on responses. Also, it provides a tutorial to explain incorrect responses. Most importantly it allows students to progress at their own individual rate and receive rewards for their success throughout the program. This program can be used at home or school to improve math skills. I thought this program would be beneficial for teachers to use as a class resource for visual learners or as a tool for remediation of specific skills.

SABES promotes high quality adult basic education services through training, support, and resources that improve the skills and knowledge of practitioners and strengthen programs. I'm posting this website because we have talked about what makes a "good teacher". This website has great articles (you could use for referenes) and Adult education on many subjects. Most of the training is "basic", however there are some teachers in the district who can't respond to email because they are not computer savvy. This website provides basic information on how to use the computer and other "basic needs"

This website is a program that is used nationally. (Even in Atlanta Ga) The program brings in professionals to discuss bullying, help children learn community safety and some self-defense classes. The website keeps the public updated on leading causes faced by children in this age and time. I'm posting this site because in our reading we have been discussing problems children face every day, and how to prevent these problems. I saw many of my classmates discussion bullying and some eating disorder. This website provides prevention activities you could also use in the classroom!

This site gives lesson plans and activities you can do with children in the classroom. In addition, it gives educational videos to use in the classroom and helpful articles which will help teachers develop their learning. I like the classes that teachers can take to understand different concepts related to children's learning.
