UD EDU 352 Technology in Education

This website has a lot of information about technology in the classroom. There are also a lot of information about Internet safety which is a big topic in today's educational system. Teachers need to be informed of everything new on the internet so they know how to protect their students. This website also has a lot of information about new technology in the classroom.

this is a unique website that allows students to use video, community, phone and presentation tools. Now that students are more enhanced in technology we need to do something about keeping them engaged in the classroom and implementing technology is a perfect way to do it.

This is an overall interactive website. This website can be used for an subject and any grade level. This would be a website that I would use for my students when they had extra free time in the classroom so that they could stay busy but still be learning and using things that they have learned in the classroom. I also think students will enjoy this website because they have the freedom to do what they want to do and work on.

What I really like about this site is that it shows all different learning sites where students can click on a subject and get engaged in activities/games. Once students click on their subject, they can choose their own grade level. I like this especially for during free time.

This website is full of different tips and games for students to play who are interested in their health and their physical condition. There are quizzes to take to test their knowledge about health and other things. There are also tips on how to stay healthy and how to stay in shape. This is a great website for students who are interested in health and physical education.

This site is all about being active and eating healthy. Students can learn more about eating healthy or more about how the body works. This is a great way to incorporate technology into P.E. class. Students may like to explore this website at home or during a study hall if you give them homework. Amber Koth

A website for kids and their parents to learn more about health, fitness and nutrition through fun games, recipes and articles. This website could be more for the home, but I would modify it for the classroom. One example was a game called Scavenger Hunt, and the students would have to find objects placed around the room in so much time. You might have some safety issues with this game, but I could make it work.

This website is full of reading and language arts games. It also separates the games into different grades so you can play the games that are appropriate for your grade level. The game that I played was called the alphabet bingo and you have to listen to the letter and then find it on the board so this game would also be good for auditory learners.

This website provides a number of different games for students to use to practice their language arts. There are games for each grade levels.

I really enjoyed this website, because there are a lot of different games for students that have a bunch of different interests. I picked this website, because it is very colorful, and also splits the activities into grades, so the students know where they are supposed to be at. I would have students use this as a rotation during reading centers, so they could have a little time to work on their area of need.

This is a fun websites that students can go on and play all sorts of educational games. This website isn't limited to just reading, but there is also math, science and many other things. There are also short books that you can read on this website and then there is a game at the end that the students can play.

Teachertube is a Youtube for teachers. This site has filtered videos, audios, photos, and documents that teachers can use in their classroom and feel comfortable that they are appropriate for the classroom. You simply search the topic and specify what type of resource you are looking for, and teachertube finds what you need.

I have used this site before, as have many of us have. Weebly is a great way for teachers to inform students and parents about their classroom. They can put a list of assignments, important dates, as well as a list of rules, consequences, and resources for students and parents to use. They can include links as well as a place where parents can connect and ask questions.

I have heard of edmodo being used in the classrooms, and I think it is a great way for parents, students, and teachers to connect. Teachers can notify parents about upcoming tests and projects so they can give their students a little extra push to finish a project or study for a big test they have the next week.

Edmodo is a popular site for teachers and students. Its setup is similar to Facebook so that the students and teachers are well familiarized with the functions. This website is great for teachers and students to communicate in a virtual classroom kind of way.

I chose this site because it helps teachers to manage a digital classroom. I would use this site to schedule quizzes, manage progress, and assign homework so students and parents could keep up on expectations and schedules.

Weebly is a web 2.0 tool which can be used to make web pages which can aid student learning and can be used for parents at home. A great tool for educaiton.

This is a Social Studies site. I chose this one due to its creativity. This game that I am bookmarking is an activity for the students to match up the presidents with his vice president. It is very accessible, they have instructions for you at the beginning and then you are off to matching up the president to their vice president. It tells you which ones you get right and wrong. The only problem I have with it is, it doesnt give any clues so I had a hard time because it has been along time since I learned about the presidents.

As a teacher there are going to be lessons that are more directed to teaching the students a particular topic but it may not be very interesting. This website has creative lesson plans that are out of the box and get the students involved in learning through experiments and play. These lessons would be great to do after a long lesson on something that may be difficult for students.

This webiste is awesome and very helpful for not only art activites but anything. I love doing art projects and having hands on experiences for children and this website gives the teacher millions of creative ides for the kids to create in class using all different mediums and styles that are great for any age!

This website is awesome for a teacher who has a smart board in their classroom. Incorporating technology whenever possible is always fun. Kids today are very technologically advanced and love any chance to play with it. There are lessons anywhere from holidays to music and science.

This website is good for kids of all ages. A lot of kids go through a phase where they do not want to brush their teeth and this website is good for grades 2 and up to show the importance of brushing your teeth. There are links that talk about cavities, braces, prevention, cutting out sugar and a video visiting a dentist. There is also a link to "take the challenge" which would be fun for the class to do together.

This website would be very helpful for kids grades 2-6. There are no games but interesting videos to watch such as "food smarts" or topics to read about like friends, family, school, body, emotions and money. I think the kids would like this webiste because it trys to relate to them by silly doodles on the notebook, cellphones that have texts for them. it is different and yet another good website for them to go on during computer time.

this website provides a variety of lessons for physical education. Not all kids enjoy PE and hate running but this website includes lessons such as steal the flag football, rhythm sticks, cooperative handball and many more. One lesson that stuck out to me was "Juast a minute" where the coach/ teacher reads a book just a minute and they discuss how long a minute is and have the kids close their eyes and put heads down for a minute. (which is hard for younger kids) Then they discuss if their body is healthy they should be able to do any activity for a minute wihtout stopping. This was interesting, the teacher could create any activity for them to do for a minute which is very creative.

This link os for a book about science to buy. In the description of the book it explains the different fun experiments that the class could do such as a folding egg, bubbling lava bottle and many more. It will spark the imaginiation and amaze the kids in the class.

This website is perfect for activities to use during or after a lesson. It includes puzzles and games such as a election vocabulary bingo which would have been perfect for students to go over now since the elections just happened. There are also crosswords on the original colonies or a Native american game. These would all help make a heavy lesson on learning about all the presidents or learning the state capitals alittle more fun.

This website has over 40 links to mini language arts lessons that could be used. Whether it be used when there is extra time and i need to have somrthing for the kids to do or just as a minni lesson, it has a variety. There is anything from reinforcing the alphabet and sounds, to creative thinking. I really liked one of the lessons called "Invent a Holiday" which is pretty much self explanetory but i know the kids would love!
