Educational Websites

National Geographic Young Explorers

National Geographic Explorers


www.thinglink.com Thinglink is a great online resource to use with students with learning challenges.  Thinglink provides interactive images to help students achieve a better grasp of information.  With thinglink student learning becomes less boring and it also helps the student develop 21st century skills.


www.edpuzzle.com this is a great resource to use when you want to show students only certain parts of a video.  You are able to crop the video, embed your voice and ask questions to assess student comprehension.  This is a perfect tool to use with storylineonline.net.  I will be using this when I have students listen to a story online. I can then add comprehension questions to check their story comprehension. As a teacher I am able to track down student progress.


www.socrative.com this website is an interactive tool in which teachers can assess student learning throught out the lesson.  The assessments can be done via IPADS, laptops, smartphones.  


www.webquest.org this online tool is an inquiry base program where students utilize their higher order thinking in order to process information before they can locate and gather it. A webquest should be meaningful and fun for the students.  This tool can be used to assess student learning and understanding on the content.

www.letsgeddit.com  provides  real-time and private student understanding feedback to the teacher.  Student understanding can be accessed through short answers or multiple choice.  This would be a perfect tool for teachers to access their lessons and identify students at risk and provide the necessary adjustment before the student gets too far behind.
