I have a list of websites of a few websites that my classmates I find useful!
Please feel free to add any resources that you use in your classroom as well.
This is a website that provides
a lot of resources and lessons. The
website is divided into different grade levels and subject areas. The site contains different interactive games,
activities, or handouts for different skills.
This site helps students develop online test taking skills along with
many other 21st century level skills.
Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus is an
excellent tool to increase vocabulary and writing skills. Visual Thesaurus is an interactive dictionary
and thesaurus that allows the user to map word webs with meanings,
pronunciations, and synonyms. Visual
Thesaurus gives proper grammar usage of unfamiliar words as well. In my classroom, students access visual
thesaurus for the word of the day and create a word web. Throughout the week, my students will learn
five new vocabulary words and apply them in their daily writing
assignments. One does have to subscribe
to the tool, but this is an excellent source for building vocabulary, using
words precisely, improves grammar and spelling, and exposure to other
languages.
This tool allows one to create
videos using the webcam or a screen shot and save your videos on your network
or YouTube. A teachers can create
screencasts of lessons when he or she is going to absent, so the substitute
teacher can show it to the students.
Students can utilize the program as well. Students can create a screencast of a project
presentation or speech and share it with the class.
This site provides an alternative
presentation option for the traditional book report or Powerpoints. Students can use interactive images to bring
their novels alive. I have also had my
students use a glog as a cover page for a writing portfolio. Students can add attachments, so they can
create an accessible portfolio of their writing to share with others.
