Yes, I am assigning all viewers the first of many homework assingments (so far my grading should be easy).
I would like for you to reflect for a moment. Visualize your first encounter with an online source that totally saved your life (again...we're talking about your teaching experiences). Why did this website turn into your life-line?
I would like for you to share your story in the following format:
-Name or Grade level you teach:
-The predicament that prompted the frantic search:
-The website:
-Why would you recommend this website?:
I can't wait to see your responses!

Catie- 7th and 8th grade language arts
ReplyDeleteI am always looking for poetry online to help aid my classroom resources. I am often worried about their understanding of the poetic devices, and this site breaks the poems down by literary device (it also breaks poems down by author, subject, etc.). It was excellent for reviewing the poetic devices and it allowed me to expose studetns to a wider variety of poetry and poetic styles.

Happy teaching... Hope you find this site useful as well.
Yeah...you get an A for your first assigment. I am going to check this website out! Who knows...maybe I can have my students write a specific type of poem about one of our current science topics.
ReplyDeleteThank you for you post.
Ok, so since I don't have a classroom YET, I totally cheated and got a tip from another friend. This is from Tonna, a media specialist, who started out as a classroom teacher many years ago. She has taught all elementary levels.
ReplyDeleteStarfall.com It totally saved my life with 1st and K at the beginning of the year. Those kindergarteners can do the ABC's for an hour and not get bored. Course most of them don't have a clue, but whatever.
The other is internet4classrooms.com Also, totally saved my life. With every grade. It is so deep that there is no way a person could truly see and do it all.
