WOW! Evolution of Classroom technology: http://bit.ly/fIwE4Q Great look into the past!

Math Games

Here is a symbaloo with K-5 Online Math games. Lots of games for kids of all ages to play!

Through the Wild Web Woods

In an effort to teach children about potential dangers online and how to avoid them, the Council of Europe has offers a game called Through the  Wild Web Woods. Through the Wild Web Woods is designed for students ages seven through ten to learn how to spot danger on the Internet and what to do when they do spot danger on the Internet. The game is available in twenty-four languages.


Looks like a great site to teach kids about the dangers that can be found online.

Geography Games

Reach the World produces good online games for geography students. The GeoGames from Reach the World feature an interactive map which students drag and drop onto different elements. The beginner level games asks has student place continents and the poles in the correct position. As the games levels progress students have to place countries and capitals in their proper positions. In the Build Planet Earth section students have to place continents, oceans, mountains, and rivers in their proper positions.

This is a great site for anyone who studies the continents and oceans. I think this is 3rd grade. It is a fun and challenging site.

Sqworl

Sqworl is a web application that provides a clean and simple way to visually bookmark multiple URLs (web addresses). I can see this being used to bookmark websites that your students could use during read to someone time or just to mark sites you want your kids to use when they use the computers. It is really easy for the kids to see each website and decide where they want to go. Click here for a video on Sqworl.

Also, here are a few sample sqworl sites created by teachers for their students. http://sqworl.com/i3musu and http://sqworl.com/t17uwo (These teachers have some great sites bookmarked!!)

I just made a new Voki. See it here:

Technology and Daily 5

Here is a first grade teacher who created a schooltube video on how to use technology with the Daily 5. I know that we do not have all the things she talks about but I am hoping we will get some in the future. At least it can get us thinking about using technology with Daily 5.
