What teachers are saying ...

4.5 out of 5 stars!

"I honestly enjoy this website as well as my students. Thanks!"

"Today after showing my principal the website, she was in love with it and wanted me to run it for the school."

"The students are learning while having fun. They never groan when it is Learning Farm day!!!"

"My kids LOVE Learning Farm!"

"I wanted to let you all know that I LOVE this program. I have recommended you all to many teachers. This program has helped a lot of my struggling students. Thank You!"

"This is fabulous!!! My daughter didn't want to leave school because she was playing Learning Farm!"

"I love this program because it allows me to diversify learning needs, to foster independent learning, and to reinforce mastery learning... This program is the best thing I've seen for my kids in the 15 years that I've taught."

"I love learning farm, and I'm very certain that it helped to provide great state test scores for my students last year!!! I love how closely it shadows the state standards!"

"My students really enjoy using Learning Farm and would ask to go on it! It is very "kid" friendly. We have had use of other websites at the same time such as "Study Island" and my students preferred Learning Farm."

"I wish I had found your site earlier in the year. My students are enjoying it and I like all the skill practice. Great job! "

have students write answer to a question on a piece of paper... wrinkle it up and throw it in the middle of the room. Then each kid picks up a piece of paper and reads aloud others responses (they will not be afraid to share because it is not their answer). You can have them respond to each other and throw them back in.

Assign students partners. One partner is the coach and one is the student. The coach cannot write anything but can only give meaningful feedback. After a specific amount of time you switch. You can even switch partners. Good for pairing different students at different learning levels. Would be good for writing or math.

(Can adjust to any time) Spend two minutes answering a question individually. Then one minute discussing it with a partner (no pens). Two minutes completing the question. Would be good for math or writing.

# data[].attributes.body
I wouldn't write a grade on the test but group the students together by their score (I would closely monitor the lowest scorers). I would allow the students to go over the test and discuss each question. They wouldn't know who was right or wrong so they wouldn't just change answers quickly. They can rework with a colored pencil as a correction. This lead to great discussions and students teaching and explaining to each other.

Benefits of Bubbl.us mind maps over text:

Superior clarity of structured information

Whether it's a family tree, a decision flow map, or an algorithm, mind maps have a huge advantage in presenting complexity clearly and concisely.

Better retention of complex ideas.

Visualizing complex ideas in shapes, lines, and pictures leads to much better recollection later than simple text.

Creative collaboration with others.

Visual brainstorming with a team can dramatically improve the quality of the final product because of diversity of perspectives and experiences.
