After taking an educational technology class in school, I realize how little I know about technology in the classroom. As someone that has been out of the classroom for over 10 years (most of which have been either working on my Bachelor of Arts or being a stay at home mom), I was shocked to see the advances that have occurred over the last decade. To say that learning about smart boards was a shock would be a gross understatement. So now as I muddle my way through learning the latest digital advances the world has to offer I thought I would share a few online resources I have come to love.
BBC- Online Teaching Resources- I have linked you straight to the Science page to help get you to the teaching resources as it can be slightly difficult navigating this site. This being said it has fantastic ideas, games, experiments, worksheets and teacher resources in most subjects (there is a subject menu list on the right hand side of the page).
Prezi- A New Way of Creating Presentations- This is a unique and fun way to create classroom presentations that have a more fluent transition than your typical forms of presentations. Kids can have a great time with this program but be aware that you do need to "sign up" to use this site.
Graphic Organizers- For the Visual Thinker!- This site has a great array of graphic organizers useful for both assignments and assessment. These are great for fostering creative thinking and teaching students how to organize material in a different way.
As I find more sites and resources that I like I will update this page and add them.
