Why, Youtube of course! There is a great network of teachers whose methods are excellent in helping just about any student of any level, learn new material or just refresh on older material.

It was built from the ground up when the Common Core State Standards were announced and it was created by a network of educators and has developed into a large scale PLN as they constantly update their materials and offer teacher training to assist in this endeavor as well. greatminds.org]]> 2019-06-03 09:57:48 UTC https://padlet.com/thomas_campagna/vr058hp6ymn3/wish/365240027 thomas_campagna https://padlet.com/thomas_campagna/vr058hp6ymn3/wish/365240559 Carnegie Learning is a series of textbooks and online interface designed to bridge the gap between the traditional classroom and an online class. Their materials are student driven, allowing the teacher to insert themselves into lessons, but not required to be the lead at all times. Their Cognitive Tutor software can be used in place of a math class and can show proficiency and help students to progress faster than they might be able to on a regular basis. carnegielearning.com]]> 2019-06-03 10:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/thomas_campagna/vr058hp6ymn3/wish/365240559 thomas_campagna https://padlet.com/thomas_campagna/vr058hp6ymn3/wish/365241785 Khan Academy is a free resource that helps to connect students and teachers as you are able to organize your classes and are able to track individual student progress.
