This website is a great resource for teachers and parents to use. click on the picture to see a great and different way to display think maps/ diagrams/ webs. This coggle I have created is all about mapping out what my blog post is going to be about. I add picture text and links to refer back to when I began to write the post. It is a great way to also practice storytelling with students.
Voicethread is a great platform to have students interact over long week breaks, as teachers we ca present a set of information for students and have then type, talk or leave video commentary, as well as create their own displays. When you click on the picture you'll see my voice thread about my philosophy of education and technology.
Canva is a beautiful website that is easy for students to use as a way to create flyers and posters for any assigned project. When you click the picture, it will take you to my Canva creation about digital citizenship
Another great website to display ideas, videos and other teach made work, but also allows students and parents to interact with the pinups and even add things to the boards. This particular pin-up is all about Compare and contrast.
Code.org, Hourofcode.org are great websites to expose your children/ students too. When looking at coding as a form of literacy these site are focus on making it easy as possible for students to use coding in schools. clicking on the link/ image takes you to my code creation.
Adobe Spark is another website that students can utilize in order to do voice over presentations, posters and mini slide shows/ videos for class projects. Clicking the link/ image will lead you to a spark I've created about me. Which lends to how great this programs is during the beginning of the school year or as a poetry project.
This is a pack of sentence starters you could hang around the classroom or cut into strips to be made available to students at their will. These are great for students who are ENL students or have Language disabilities (It comes in colors).
These set of laminated cards are great for small group projects that require students to have a job. The sett comes in math and reading group sets and has descriptions of the job on the back side (It comes in colors).
A fun print out, comes with and with out snap/ sight/ high frequency words for any grade. Can be easily alter to help with breaking up syllabubs for students or children.
These are simple cards to help a student or child remember descriptive words and you can use the cards in a way to help them describe books objects and people in fun simple games.
This is a PDF that has some high frequency and low frequency works for first graders and second graders.
Another fun print out that you can use to help with letter sounds and recognize letter formations. These cars come with digraphs, double vowels and glued sounds.
I develop this special to the children i work with. By creating my own document i was able to manipulate the schedule to the students day. Also, i can input special break times a swell. I have pecs pictures to go with the schedule that i would adhere with velcro to allow me to change what the student needed to do for each period each day to each which ever reward they wanted for that period.
This was develop special for the children I had worked with in order for then to have visual and tactual interaction with a schedule. Also, it can be used virtually. Once printed out it can be glued to colorful contact paper and be made to fold and stick together with velcro. This helps the student to understand that a period is over and they are closer to either a desired break or the end of the school day to help with anxiety.
This was create for all the students to use in the classroom. These are just like sentence starters but for math. The teacher and I saw a need that the student were not "talking" about math enough and spent a day on how to talk about math and encourage the students to use these strips to help them speak to their peers during math time.
This is another board i made specially for students so that i can manipulate the action the student has to accomplish or were working on based on their IEP. I would glue the sheet to either cards tock paper or a folder and have it next to the students desk and every time they performed one of the actions they would get a green check or a smiley face under the action and they would earn time towards a goal they picked for the day.
This is a vey simple document made for an ESL student who was having difficulty starting sentences speaking and writing. I would sit with the student and go over the starters and have they repeat before they write and make sure they know what each line says
This was developed for a student who needed a more simpler Board and also had to work on having a safe body and listen to the teacher. This is where they would earn five stars towards a goal they choose and they would earn a star for every period they had a safe body and listen to the teacher. Once they mastered this Board they then graduated to the Board above.
