As part of our final exam we had to use a newly installed interactive white board as part of a lesson plan. This was great fun for those of us in the class and made me want one as a new teacher. Here are the websites that I thought were worthy of writing down the addresses to remember in the future. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did in our class' final exam. Way to go Prof. Whitaker - you rock!
1.
http://vves.rocklin.k12.ca.us/kidlinks.htm - a great collection of all types of interactive sites.
2.
www.northpole.com/clubhouse/games/money/level1 -- this was great for teaching money and change.
3.
www.starfall.com - a great standard for phonemic awareness and phonics -- a great standard.
4.
www.cyberkidzgames.com -- has great age appropriate games that also teach.
5.
www.abcteach.com -- has great information and will offer students a free account. Just use your college email address to sing-up.
6.
www.dkmsoftware.com/wordruffle - wow! I'm addicted to this game and so are my students that I work with as a ParaPro... they can't wait until we get all of our work done so we can do this one on the big screen.
7.
http://sites.google.com/site/whiteboardgoodies/ - a complete set of white board goodies that you can pick and choose from.
Remember, technology is a tool, not just a way to pass the time. Understand what the software or website is teaching the students and then use the tool to implement!
I think we all made "A's" on our finals for this class!!
