One of the issues that educators face when incorporating digital tools into the classroom is knowing what sites are appropriate for students to visit, while also being educational and engaging. Below is a list of resources that I have complied by subject matter to address this concern. All of these sites are educational, free of charge and can assist students in mastering subject matter whether that be through a game, video, and/or practice. By having a place where educators and parents can gain access to material that has already been reviewed, they can be assured that the content of the material they are allowing their kids to watch is appropriate.
