Useful Websites for the Classroom

www.discoveryeducation.com 
This website is an excellent tool to use in the classroom.  The streaming section is something I will use.  It has so many videos on every subject that I would need.


www.Voki.com
What a fun website!!  This site will allow students to create their own  talking character.  I see myself using it at the beginning of the day to greet the students and get them started on their journals.  I would also have students use this site to create a Voki to do reports.


www.prometheanplanet.com
This is such a great website for those that have a Promethean Interactive Whiteboard.  The site has so many resources that can be used on the whiteboard and with the Expression Devices that really keep students engaged in a lesson.


www.teach.classdojo.com
I am so happy that another teacher introduced this site to the class. What a great way to keep behavior problems in the classroom to a minimum.  I will definitely use this website in the upcoming school year.


www.livebinders.com
I feel so organized using the live binder website.  There were so many resources to use that now I have them all organized in one place.  It will save me so much time because I won't have to search the internet for resources I need.


www.ed.ted.com
I found this website pretty easy to use.  I would like to try to flip some lessons this upcoming year.  I created a math lesson(find it on my blog) that I plan to use this year for addition and subtraction.


www.glogster.com
This website allows me to make creative posters to present material in fun way.  I look forward to creating more glogs and I hope my students will find it entertaining.

LMS articles and websites have some interesting information that would be great to use to develop an online course.  I wish it could be used effectively at the lower elementary but I have no idea how that could be accomplished.
Common core....confusing or what???
