Studyladder

Let me introduce you to Studyladder!  This is a tremendous resource for your K-8 classroom.  It is free to register and you have access to numerous activities for your classroom in all of the core subjects.  You can link to this site on your classroom website and students can play for fun or you can set up a class list and assign tasks for them to complete.  The organization is brilliant and it's easy to navigate.  Young students might still need some help locating the proper activity, but it's well worth it!  I've already found 3 activities for use next week!  Currently, there are over 5,000 activities on the site and I hope they continue to add more.  Check it out!

Math Mayhem!

Here is a quick little post to let you know about this adorable math facts site.  I found this through Pinterest.  Math Mayhem is an adorable, timed game.  Students from around the country or around the world can compete against each other using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills.  These games also develop good keyboarding skills.

The more questions students answer correctly, the more points they are awarded.  The only down-side to this fast-paced game are the sound effects.  Can we say "headphones required"?  Wow!  Kids will love it though!  By the way, if you haven't discovered Pinterest and you need an invite, please comment below.  You can find so many great technology resources for your classroom!  Hit me up!

School Time is Around the Corner!

First of all, let me welcome all the new followers!  I appreciate you being patient with me as I took some time off of technology (eek!) and concentrated on finishing my Masters this summer.  I'm gearing up for the upcoming school year, changing grades, and I am ONE project away from my degree!  So close I can feel myself relaxing already!  I attended a fabulous workshop this morning that has my techie-wheels spinning!

To get back in the mode of blogging, I want to share a presentation with you on implementing Google in your classroom.  The presentation is long, so grab a diet Coke or a cup of coffee!  There are some fantastic ideas for making Google work for you and your students.

I'll be back to posting regularly beginning next week!  See ya soon!
