I see things on this site all the time that I want to make or create to put in my classroom. It has endless supplies of idea and things you can do yourself. Things from organizational tools to just fun decorations for the classroom... I know personally, I always like the classes that had fun stuff on the walls. Made it more fun to be there and more fun to learn. :)
Love this site! It has all kinds of neat ideas on how to organize your class, save money, recycle, and all that good stuff. It's great just to look at so in the future, before you throw out that old coffee can, you already have ideas and ways you can use it to better organize and perfect your classroom.
I like this site becuase of how versitile it could be. You could look up any number of things about special education, like lessons, definitions, laws, responsibilites, etc. It's a great resource to have when you (and you will) have special ed. students in your class.
I like this site because it gives you a variety of options. I'd probably just use it as something to put on my class website and let kids and parents access it as they need it. I could also point it out to students if they weren't aware that they could get help there.
I love this site becuase so often, when we think about differentiating lessons, we think about the kids who are behind, not the ones who are ahead. Here you can find ways to enhance your own lessons, or, make all new lessons for them to work on when they have time. It's a great way to keep the gifted kids busy, challenged, and happy (as well as some over bearing parents of gifted students...).
I chose this site because of the number of things it introduces you to and shows you how to do. You could use it in a million ways. You could find games, lessons, how to make a class website, and a lot of other things that are only limited by your imaginaion and by your busy schedule.
I chose this site because of the specific topics. I could use it to have them practice for a quiz or a test, or, to make sure that they don't forget those skills or facts after a test is taken.
This is a great site becuase this is a topic that I know I need help with and I'm sure others would as well. There is such a wide range of disabilites and with each disability comes an even wider range of students who react to that disability differently. It's so hard to be able to know what to do in a certain situation so that you know each student gets the help and support they need. This site is a great resource for adapted lessons and other ideas that will help you reach every student.
I chose this site because of the way it's organized. It's clean and it's simple. I would use it becuase it has a wide variety of lesson plans organized by grade. It also has lots of other things like graphic organizers, projects, managements techniques, etc. These things can be hard to come up with on your own and know they will work for your students. It's nice to get ideas, feedback, and insipration from teachers and tried and true projects and lessons.
I chose this site becuase it has so many ideas that can be adapted and formed to fit your specific class, kids, and needs. Talking about smoking with kids can be a touchy subject just because they may have family members or parents who smoke and you don't want to be seen as attacking them. This site gives you lots of ideas on how to approach the topic with students and teach them about the health risks or smoking.
I love this site because of the VAST amount of information on it! It can be so hard to know when doing something like P.E. what to do to teach the skill and then, with such a wide range of skills and abilities, how to assess the skills you've taught. This give you ideas for lessons, bulletin boards, assessments, adapted P.E., and so much more.
I love PE central as it has different lesson plans and quizzes and ideas that pe teachers came up with and uploaded for others to use. I also, like it because if i came up with a game that worked and students loved i can upload it and other teachers can use it for their class.
I chose this site becuase of the help and knowledge it can give to students who want to practice spelling, or are in a spelling bee. It'd be great to use because when you're in a spelling bee you know you have to study how to spell words... but what words?! This can give you lists and guidance as you practice.
Learning for good is a website for all ages. It involves many different things that will include all types of students. They have games grouped into categories such as action, adventure, mazes, and sports games. The games are bright and colorful and help the student with hand eye coordination.
This website has cool ideas for helping kids with spelling words. It's better than the traditional paper-pencil monotonous activities. This allows kids to interact with the words.
This is a site for spelling words. It offers multiple games on all different levels for spelling. The games are also clearly labeled as to how easy or hard they are. I enjoyed it, and some of the games were fun.
This is a good site for free math worksheets. The worksheets are sorted by grade level and by topic. The worksheets are simple and ready to use. This could be extremely handy as a future math teacher.
This website is handy for finding quick activities for children to do during free time. These activities could be used as fillers if a lesson gets done too early. They could also be used as activities during fall, winter, or spring parties.
This website has a lot of fun typing games. This could be used with an elementary technology class to introduce keyboarding skills. The games are free too, which also makes it more enjoyable. Students could play this at home as well!
This website has fun already made powerpoint game templates. You could download the templates and adapt them to the unit you are teaching. This could be used as a fun review game. There are Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Twenty Question game templates.
