Web Sites Galore

50 Sites in 60 Minutes: Version 2

Shmoop
We Speak Student is the motto for this web site.  This web site provides student and teacher resources related to US History, Economics, Music, and Literature to name a few.  This web site is trying to take these educational concepts and turn them into a language the students better understand showcasing "In a Nutshell" what the information is and "Why Should I Care" to support the reasons teachers are showcasing this information in class.

Online Professional Development
Knowledge Delivery Systems is providing the opportunity for concepts to be learned, while teachers earn state license renewal, continuing education credits, salary advancement and more.  Some of the concepts show are, A Framework for Teaching, Understanding the Digital Generation, Authentic Innovation in the 21st Century, Manage it All, and Differentiation to name a few.  Syllabi's are available to download to check out the course content.

Arcademicskillbuilders
Arcade + Academics = Fun Learning.  This web site provides academic arcade games related to addition, subtraction, money, fraction, geography, language arts, typing and more.  With these games they can be played individually or the students can create multi-player games where a student can setup a room and other students can easily join the room to play with the other students or against the other students.  Great way for students to interact with each other while on different computers.

Discovery Education: Teacher Resources
Even though Discovery Education does not provide the web sites, videos, interactives and more through DE Streaming, they still do provide teacher resources such as lesson plans, worksheets, learning adventures and brain boosters for science, english, social studies and math.  They even break this information down into K-5, 6-8 and 9-12.
