A website that I always used in school and i feel would be great for students is http://www.factmonster.com/ I used it for help when studying, for research, and also when i was helping a teacher in a class for highschool credit. I found some fun math and history and other subject games which can involve all of the students. It is also a great way to study while having fun. I used to love going to this website when i was younger and i would love to use it as a teacher for my classes and subjects.
Another website that i heard of from the teacher i helped in highschool was http://www.suelebeau.com/freetools.htm
She had used to to make some easy quizes as grade boosters and also for ideas for fun but educational games for the students. She also used it or homework assignments when necessary. It is a simple way of finding good work for students but also fun stuff for them to learn from. There are a million different tools to chose from for teachers from making quizzes to seting up an email. This would defiently be a tool i would use myself to help with making up questions for quizes and even homework assignments.
My goal is to teach second grade and i know as a teacher i can use excel for many things. But i am not quite sure how i would incorporate it into the class with the students. I may be able to use it for higher grade levels when it comes to mean, median, and mode or adding numbers up, specifically prices. It would also take a lot of time to teach to students, because I know for me the first time i was taught excel i had no idea what i was doing. Also since it isnt something used very often until you get more into budgeting and stuff along those lines you tend to forget how to work Excel, which means you have to learn again.
