    This website hits on all subjects and get very specific in the field at which wants to be studied. It has many different games and would be good for all age groups.
  •  
    This is a great educational game website. It has a varitey of games for every subject. This could be used as assessment or review. This website will come in handy in the future.
  •  
    This site provides games for many different subjects. When children play games that are fun and educational they don't really realize they are playing a learning game. These games all look fun which will get them interested in playing them. I would probably try to get in a computer lab every once in a while to allow children to play games for each subject to help get them used to using a computer and also to have them learning about all the different subjects.
  •  
    Educational Games: Students can learn while playing Animal Games, Art Games, Music Games, Math Games, Logic Games, Geography Games, Memory Games, Science Videos, etc. These are very interactive games that allow students to apply what they have learned in class to online games! I would use this in my class as a reward and a time filler if there was extra time at the end of the day or after a lesson.
  •  
    This is a great website with a ton of different games for students of all ages from 1st grade to high school these games vary in the subjects. I feel that these games can make the learning fun in the class room. I would use this in my class room during some free time the students may have. I will allow them to play on the website in their grade level. I could also tell them what subject they need to be working on also.
  •  
    This website is also very basic and very appropriate for students. I think this would also be a great tool for teachers to use when their students have extra free time in the classroom. Kids have the ability to chose what they want to work on like math, science, reading, music, art, and other options.
  •  
    The site I found here provides a number of different educational games in different learning areas. These games are a fun way to get students engaged while learning new things and strengthening their knowledge. I would definitely share this site with the parents and give students the opportunity to play these games during their free time.
  •  
    This site has every subject on it that kids can play to learn certain subjects. I would use this site to help me teach the students certain subjects.
  •  
    this site has all different games that covers a wide array of subjects and difficulty levels for different age groups
  •  
    Online Learning Games for kids are a great way to build the skills that kids need to succeed in school. These educational games for kids make learning fun with math facts, language arts, and more. This would be another option to reach different subjects and topics. This website also has a printable. The printable would be good for those students who may not want to use the computer but needs extra help.

      This site has all types of games in many subject areas to engage students in their learning. The website also has games that go along with great books that are out currently.
  •  
    Education Game I selected this website because it has a lot of games suited for elementary students. Also, it includes comics for students to read, instead of playing games. This website focuses more on reading and math, as it has games only for these two subjects and arcade games. I will use this in the class with the younger grade levels.

    Educational Games: This website has more fun games than educational games, but there are a few I really liked. There is a section of games that directly correspond with certain elementary books, such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I would use these games at the end of the book as a way to review with the students as well as keep the book fresh in their minds.
  •  
    Fun Brain is a website which has many different games on it, under different categories which are aimed towards different subject matters.

    this is a great educational site. I would use it for the playground section as it is a favorite of my daughter and she showed me some fun games to play on it, and I liked the reading portion with the mad libs fill ins and games. Mad libs were a favorite of mine as a child and I'm sure kids will have fun creating funny stories.
  •  
    I love this website, because it would be very appealing to students. This game looks exactly like an arcade game, so students would be interested, because they wont even know how educational it is. I would love to use this in the classroom for a Fun Friday day, so they are still learning, but getting their free time for getting all their hw in on time.

    This site has a lot of interaction, as well as a variety of topics within the language arts spectrum. Students can be given a specific section they need more practice on, and can be worked on during a center. I can see this being utilized in centers very often especially if students are struggling in a specific section.

  •  
    This website would be great for teaching language arts. You can click on whatever topic you are talking about and a big list of games and activities pop of that you can use.

Online Math Games for Kids | MathPlayground.com - 1 views

shared by triagusta14 on 25 Jan 12 - Cached
  •  
    I chose this site, more than anything, becuase it's fun and it's games. I'd use this site as more of a reward or an educational time killer. Kids love to go to the computer lab and they love to play games. With this site you can also make sure that they are practicing math. You could also say that they have to play addition games, or fraction games, or whatever it is that you're studying in class to give them all the practice they can get.

    This is a Math site. I chose this site due to the part that it not only has games, but it has practical ways to reach the students thinking and learning ability. The site has fractions, money, algebra, and graphing so it is appropriate for all ag es. It also gives the student some help on addition, subtraction, and fractions.
  •  
    A website that can be used at any grade level; however, I would use it as a center rather than a staple part of a lesson. This could simply provide extra practice for a subject area that may need extra practice. Although it has lessons and sections for the older grades, it is based more for the younger grades, it would be more engaging for them.
  •  
    This website is full of games for your students to play. There are ones that they can play individually or ones that they can play in a group. There is addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division games. I think this website would be useful in your classroom when your students just need a break from sitting in there desks. This website will get them excited about math and they will find it a lot more enjoyable.

Just 4 Teachers: Sharing Across Borders - 1 views

  •  
    This website is ideal for teachers to share ideas and stay in touch with other teachers all over the world. Teachers can easily share stories of students and lesson plans that have worked for them in the past. Teachers sharing with each other is vital for the success of students. There is no need to "rewrite the book" on teaching when people have been doing it for years and years. These websites can also give teachers great insight on what is going on in schools all over the nation and possibly integrating students from other areas in lessons, such as pen pals or Skyping in the classroom.

    This website would be perfect for opening up class each week when talking about Social Studies. It offers a couple of this week in history this happened scenerios. It also offers multiple topics to view such as government, cultures, economics, etc.
  •  
    Why I chose this site: I chose this site because social studies can often be a dry, boring, and uninteresting subject for kids. This site has lots of cool subjects and topics that can be relevant to kids. How I'm going to use this site: I could use this site in several ways. I could use it to talk about current events that are happening today or I could use it to teach kids about the past that we can longer experience first hand. This site could be used as a whole class, or, it could be used independently for research projects. It's nice too because it's kid focused so they wont run into topics, pictures, etc., that aren't kid friendly.
  •  
    This website talks about current events, geography, and holidays. It includes past history around the civil war period and Renaissance. This website contains stories and information about important history periods. Also, there are helpful fun facts and glossaries to help students with social studies.
  •  
    This site provides information about geography, government, war, middle ages, and many other areas that are studied in school. I like that it provides current events information as well. This site could be used in class if you wanted your students to write about something currently going on in the world, or even to research something from the past.

Skype in the Classroom - Skype in the Classroom - 0 views

shared by jamesreth on 01 Nov 12 - No Cached
  •  
    Sometimes the classroom needs an extra attention-getter. With Skype, there's a way for teachers to open conversations with several people--including experts, so I of course support this idea. Teachers can use this to interact with other classrooms around the state, around the country, or even around the world.
  •  
    Why? How?
  •  
    We used this in the classroom, but I think that it allows you to use Skype to locate different guest speakers around the world. I would use this if someone from the area couldn't make it in to talk to my class or if I wanted to get someone from miles away to speak in my class.

Kahoot! | Learning games | Make learning awesome! - 2 views

  •  
    Great source for making educational games for students. Great way for the students to see their results right away.
  •  
    I liked using Kahoot because it is a way to get the class to interact. In my future classroom I would use this as a participation assignment.
  •  
    Kahoot is a resource tool that is used in classrooms as a tool for students to use as a quiz like game that helps students learn in a fun way. How I could use this tool in the classroom is before a quiz or test I can create a Kahoot for my class to use to see what they know and what they don't know and to figure out what as a class we need to go over and study.

American Chemical Society - 0 views

  •  
    This is a Science site. The game demonstrates all the chemical elements on the right side. If you need help, then there is a hint button on the left side to guide through the steps to finding the element. The goal of the game is to find the element in the house and you have three choices to get it right. This game is very helpful when teaching a lesson in science on all the elements in the table. There is a 3 minute time limit though.

There are games and also informational readings to go with them.
  •  
    This is similar to the math site I posted except it is for social studies. Again, the students pick which area they need/want to practice and they can click that area to play games pertaining to that section. I click on the states/capitals. If you click on the states, it says the capital, the flag, the motto, etc. This would be a great site if you want students to do research on different states and then design the flag for that state. It could be used for anything. Amber Koth

  •  
    I chose this site because it's live action and really interesting for students. I've used this site for students in relation to science courses before. We were doing a habitat/wildlife unit in science, and we would watch the eagles (and at the time their eggs and then babies) and talk about their habitat and patterns in relation to what we were learning. It made our lessons relevant to them and another living thing which is SO important to do with students.

  •  
    I chose this site because it has a wide variety of topics and different kinds of sites. I would use this more as a fun or laid back kind of activity (like if you need to use up a day inbetween units or right before a holiday break). The kids could find a game or site that interested them and just crusie around. Or, to make it a little more involved, they could find 15-20 facts that they find interesting that they never knew before.
  •  
    This websire is a great way to get student involved and excited about science! it is motly for older students. there are links to to an "electronic zoo" which then has a bunch of links to lessons on alot of animals in the animla kingdom made by teahers and students to be interactive and interdisciplinary. There is also a website link that would be perfect for students who are truely interested in science and teaches them about how math is integrated in science. There are also links to games that kids can classify critteres and a dust explorations.
