Online Resources
The online resources that I have included are the National Library of Virtual manipulatives. http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html
I also shared a resource for a Koosh Ball game for review questions in any subject.http://exchange.smarttech.com/details.html?id=f0400a83-0731-40fe-a8ad-a98e2aaa18c1. By using these resources in the classroom I can make my lessons much more visual and interactive for the students. The students can come to the smartboard and use the virtual manipulatives to solve problems and to teach their peers. The koosh ball game turns boring test reviews into an interactive game that the children will enjoy.
Videos for classroom use
I love to use songs to accompany all of my lessons. I have found that some children learn a great deal from music about different subjects. We often try to create our own, however these are a couple that I used this past year. The first is a fraction video that I used where the students had to figure out the fraction and show it on their whiteboards as I paused the video. It also showed the children real life fractions.
The second is a song that I used when teaching about solds, liquids, and gases in science class.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the website! I will try it out in my classroom next year. It is something I will have to model with my students, however. Some of the games on the site need directions from the teacher before letting the students use it.
ReplyDeleteThe interactive Koosh ball board was great. The description on the site about throwing balls at the board is a different way to engage the students. I can see my classes very excited about being allowed to throw things. On the other hand a challenge for me would be making sure they are under control. With Health and PE it would fit right in. Thanks for the site.
