Fraction Fun - 0 views

  •  
    I found this website that has multiple activities with fractions.  It includes the materials needed for the activities and instructions.  It lists extensions and assessment ideas.  It also has a listing of books about fractions.  It even contains links to other websites where students can play fraction games.  (And I only had trouble accessing one of the links.)

    It is the responsibility of all educators to model good digital citizenship for their students. Especially when it comes to copyright, plagiarism and intellectual property. The waters are murky. Great resource from Silvia Tolisano AKA @langwitches

    From Debra Lux (she used the context clues activities) I showed the slideshow then did the practice test with my class on the smart board.  I thought it went very well.  The kids really got it and liked it.

PosterMyWall | The Best online Custom Poster and Photo Collage Maker. Free Downloads! - 0 views

  •  
     tool that allows for quickly and easily designing posters, signs, fliers and more, allowing for a variety of customizations with backgrounds, clipart, and text, while also allowing users to upload and use their own pictures.  My own high school kids have used it to complete one page posters referred to as visual book reports.  Their end products were printed for display purposes in the library, and used for visuals for book-talks done by both the librarians and the students. We even use them in digital frames that loop through pictures at our circulation desk, and students have responded to the "book-reports" created in Poster My Wall by checking out those titles.   The site does not require an account though that is an option, and those opting to use the free version can create professional looking posters and download for printing in minutes.  My school secretary was so impressed with the site she has even used it to create fliers for events and activities at school.   The site is easy enough for even elementary school students.  Like Wordle, my collaborating teachers are finding some very interesting uses for Poster My Wall. Cons?  It is not a replacement to Glogster by any means, but a poster app none the less. (Rec by Cathy Jo Nelson)

Become a Tech Savvy Teacher by 2014: A 12-Month Plan - 0 views

  •  
    Nice twelve-month plan toward integrating more tech.  I like the way it doesn't suggest a multitude of things to do at once. It could be used as a general guide, with rearrangements or acceleration as needed.

Numberphile - Videos about Numbers and Stuff - 0 views

  •  
    Teachthought describes this as "While the site is simple a crudely interactive graphic with links to videos, it has, in one fell swoop, creatively curated some of the most compelling and engaging "problems" in mathematics. From Benford's Law to French Numbers, to whether or not zero is an even number, it frames the content area of math-which is often riddled with rote practice of very traditional arithmetic and formulas-in a problem-based learning kind of approach. Fantastic resource for bell ringers, test questions, math project-based learning ideas, or as a model for students to curate their own curiosities about the incredible-and poorly marketed-world of mathematics."

The Literacy Shed - The Literacy Shed Home - 0 views

  •  
    Huge repository of videos and ideas for use in primary classrooms.  From the UK.  Here's the description: "The Literacy Shed is home to a wealth of visual resources that I have collected over my 10 year career as a primary school teacher.   I trawl youtube, vimeo and other sites looking for suitable resources to use in the sheds. The sheds are broadly thematic but sometimes a resource could go in 2 or more sheds, I slot it in where I think it works best. Most of the resources can be used in KS1 and KS2 but some do lend themselves to the upper age group and above. The aim is to provide high quality resources that can be used in stand alone literacy lessons, can form the basis for a whole literacy unit or can support literacy units that you already have in place.   With the many book based activities I would advocate using the book alongside the digital resource.  "

Organize your resources in an online binder - LiveBinders - 0 views

  •  
    if you need to bookmark a site and want to have a copy of your bookmarked sites accessible from any computer- it's free and very easy to use.  LiveBinders is like having a 3-ring binder for the Web- collect your resources, organize them easily, present them to your students/colleagues.  Your students can access them from the laptops simply by going to the site and searching for your public binder by name, or by logging in with your information.  You can make your binders private or public.  There are hundreds already made that you may be able to use in your classroom (someone else has already done the work for you) - if it is public you can make a copy of it and save the binder in your account!

The Tutor House - 0 views

  •  
    Although one of the main features of this site is that they link you to buy things, they are still sharing many ideas.  I thought it was interesting that they have a "permission to pin" button for pinterest.  Check out the back to school "issue".  It includes many things to buy, but also decorating, book, organizing, tech, and even clothing accessory ideas. If nothing else, it's fun to look at, and links you to some interesting teacher blogs!
