UD EDU 352 Technology in Education

Science (1): This website contains science-themed units that can be used by teachers on a variety of topics. A majority of them cover topics for elementary-aged students; however, there is a section for high school science as well. There are multiple-choice quizzes that can be printed that teachers could use as an assessment tool to test a student's knowledge before a subject is taught, etc. It is user-friendly and contains a lot of material for teachers to use.

Social Studies (1): This is a great website that can be used to gain lesson plan ideas. It is separated by grade level, topic, and how many class periods a teacher wants to spend on a certain subject. There are 400 social studies/history topics to choose from including both American and world history. Teachers can print off worksheets for students, get activity ideas, etc. It is very user-friendly and contains a ton of information. It is a government-funded website, so it is currently not being maintained due to funding shutdowns; however, a lot of the topics are still useful and relevant because the information will never be outdated.

Social Studies (2): This website contains free learning and teaching resources from Federal Agencies which makes it a credible resource for teachers and students to use. It covers a variety of history/social studies topics: government, famous people, movements, states/regions, world studies, wars, etc. There are photos, videos, documents, and other important resources about the topics that are linked to each subject. As a teacher, this resource could be used as links in PowerPoints, embedded in Prezis, or as a tool for students to use in the classroom.

Math (2): This website is sponsored by Sylvan which specializes in tutoring services for students. On this website, there is a free version where students can watch free math videos covering many concepts, take free practice tests, receive practice problems, etc. There is also a version that can be purchased which provides more in-depth help for students--750+ videos, e-textbooks, step-by-step problem solving help, etc. This website can be used by students or parents who are trying to help their students with homework. It would be a great resource for teachers to pass on to parents to use at home with their child if the child is struggling.

Other: Education.com provides activities, worksheets, videos, expert advice and a school directory to give parents information and ideas to help kids reach their full potential and make learning fun. It contains resources and materials for all age groups, baby through high school.

Collaborative tools: Crocodoc converts Microsoft Office and PDF documents to HTML5 so users can view them right in their web app. I think this would be great for teachers to share their documents with parents. Parents would be able to see exactly what their students are working on and can then use that to give them extra help at home.

Looking through various collaboration tools I liked this one. just paste it is almost like a virtual word document that lets you insert videos and images, copying words and much more. It also has a automatic text back up so if a student accidently does not save or exits out then it will be saved with no worries.

Collaborative tools: I like this website because it allows you to share texts and documents with co-workers and other peers. All you have to do is type or paste your text in the space provided, save it, then sent the link to whoever you want to share it with. I think this would be very helpful with teachers in the same school and grade that might be too busy to have face-to-face meetings. This way everyone is kept up to date and in the loop.

Health: This is a great website for finding health lesson plans for grades preK- 5. These lessons range in all areas of health and use different strategies to teach the subjects. They have great game ideas listed and that would be a fun way to get students involved and interested in health.

Health: This would be a very useful website to use as an educator. There are suggestions on how to design your health curriculum, ways to assess students, and strategies to enhance instruction. I would use this website because there is a lot I don't know about health and this would be a great place to get lesson ideas.

Math (1): This website is for teachers, students, and parents. It is an online community meant to connect people to resources, answer questions, etc. about math topics. Students can get on the website and ask math questions, take quizzes, solve puzzles, etc. Parents can get on the site and find help for their student. Teachers can join forums and share lesson plans with other math professionals and sign up for conferences. The website sells study books for students, too. As a teacher, this would be a great resource to give to families who may have a student that is struggling in math or that doesn't find math very interesting, etc.
