One tool that I really found helpful was the random clock time generator. I could see this tool being very helpful when students are practicing time. You could have 5 random times pop up on the screen for them to practice with their own clocks. ]]> 2016-10-12 03:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130018120 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130019457 www.wolframalpha.com has them! This is a "fancy calculator" that could be used to safely search for unknown questions that sometimes come up during lessons. Teachers could use this to "dig deeper" and check answers! ]]> 2016-10-12 03:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130019457 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130020308 Believe it or not, Excel is an easy to use program. I do not use this program very often, yet I easily typed in information and easily graphed it quickly. I chose this graph because I feel as if it easily shows the change in temperature from day to day. Great way to show kids different graphs with different data!]]> 2016-10-12 03:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130020308 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130020642 www.wordle.net makes grouping words fun and decorative. I think this would be a fun way to group math terms for a folder cover. Students could see the words and know to associate them with math. ]]> 2016-10-12 03:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130020642 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130021112 At http://illumination.nctm.org you can easily search lessons that are connected with common core standards. This not only makes finding lessons easy, but also quick. With two simple clicks, the resources are at your fingertips! You're welcome. ]]> 2016-10-12 03:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130021112 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130021777 This site (http://illumination.nctm.org) also has great interactive activities. There was one that I found (again, only 2 clicks away) that showed a great visual for adding, subtracting, and grouping. The visual dealt with cows that you not only had to move, but also count. I think this would be a fun thing for students to engage with. ]]> 2016-10-12 04:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130021777 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130022272 http://code.org
This site allows every student the opportunity to learn about computer science! Students not only learn, but they get a chance to actually create something using computer coding. This link is some Code art created by a 10 year old. Take a look! Seriously, click this link! https://studio.code.org/c/32460533]]> 2016-10-12 04:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130022272 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130022698 Each site listed above is a free tool for teachers to use to enhance teaching. A better question is why wouldn't you use it? They are easy to navigate and FREE! The sites give us fun and easy tools to teach our students. ]]> 2016-10-12 04:22:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130022698 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130022882 Students can use all of these to enhance learning because it breaks out of the box. This is more than a work book page. This is things they will remember. They are interactive and fun and also gives our students the practice time they need! ]]> 2016-10-12 04:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130022882 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130023100 One major concern that I have with technology is the book of excused that can sometimes come with it. 
"I can't get logged in." 
"My computer isn't working." 
Our math haters will always say/do anything to get out of engagement. I have seen it. Technology is great, but it also requires patience and sometimes a plan B. Sometimes technolgy fails us. We, as teachers, need to ALWAYS be ready for our plan B. ]]> 2016-10-12 04:29:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130023100 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130023230 Something really great about it, is the differences that can be addressed while using technology. You can teach and practice with those who learn differently. For some, this cow game I shared might be so fun that they don't even question the math side. Yet, they are still getting the practice they need.. ]]> 2016-10-12 04:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130023230 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130023381 My students use iready math. This allows them to practice their math skills at their own levels. It gives them the practice they need on the exact skills they need. ]]> 2016-10-12 04:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130023381 sredlich95 https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130265826 We would actually not use this website in the lessons we have seen based on grade level and it not fitting with the lessons. ]]> 2016-10-12 19:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sredlich95/9xywafebbx56/wish/130265826
