My Oatmeal Kisses: Top Educational Websites for Kids
Technology is pretty amazing! There are lots of wonderful ways to help our child practice the skills they are learning in school. Often times with some of these great educational sites our children don't even know that they are learning at the same time! It's also a great way to motivate kids to do their homework, have them do their reading and math first and for a reward they can play an educational game...tricky! A friend of mine asked me for some recommendations on some other educational websites, so you know me, I went crazy and found a bunch. I spent many hours digging through cyberspace to find and test out the following educational game sites. Just bookmark this page, and every time you want to use a new site you can come here to find it quickly. 1. This site has lots of great language arts games. 2. Hello! 3. Here's a wonderful site c/o one of my readers! 4. Well after I posted this list on Monday I found an phenomenal site on Wednesday! 5. Wo this is another great site. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Starfall's Learn to Read with phonics The Best Search Engines for Teachers and Students Do you know Lycos and Yahoo? (But do you really know them?) Have you heard of Google? Have you ever performed an on-line search that resulted in totally unexpected matches? However, the key to effective searching may be in finding a search engine or directory that "thinks" like you! Howard B. "Different engines 'think' differently," he said. Are you feeling lucky? There are many search engines and directories on the Internet, but the trick to good searching is finding the one that works best for you. When searching with Lycos, your motto should be "Less is more!" The popular search directory Yahoo! AltaVista is a search engine with some interesting features. Take a tour of the Web with WebCrawler! If you are limited by the inability of search engines to find sites that deal with concepts related to your queries, you have a reason to be excited about Excite. On the surface, Infoseek appears to be somewhat like other search engines with indexed lists and search fields.

Английский язык онлайн -> Native English. Изучение английского языка. Online Portfolio Tools Much of this work began with my Online Portfolio Adventure, where I recreated my presentation portfolio with at least 33 different online services, software and strategies between September 2004 and the present time. In 2006, I began exploring the use of Web 2.0 tools, and constructed portfolios using these tools. One advantage of Web 2.0 tools is that many of them are free, although WikiSpaces may place ads on the page. There is some concern about security in a K-12 school environment, so care should be taken when using these tools with children.

OnlinEnglish UDL Guidelines 2.0 The goal of education in the 21st century is not simply the mastery of content knowledge or use of new technologies. It is the mastery of the learning process. Education should help turn novice learners into expert learners—individuals who want to learn, who know how to learn strategically, and who, in their own highly individual and flexible ways, are well prepared for a lifetime of learning. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) helps educators meet this goal by providing a framework for understanding how to create curricula that meets the needs of all learners from the start. The UDL Guidelines, an articulation of the UDL framework, can assist anyone who plans lessons/units of study or develops curricula (goals, methods, materials, and assessments) to reduce barriers, as well as optimize levels of challenge and support, to meet the needs of all learners from the start.

Слова-связки в английском языке ‹ Науки Одной из основных целей каждого человека, изучающего иностранный язык, является сделать свою речь как можно более богатой, непринуждённой и приближённой к оригинальному варианту разговора. Естественно, данная непростая цель заключает в себе множество подпунктов, как, например, пополнение словарного запаса, работа с речевым аппаратом (произношением), понимание реалий той нации и того государства, чей язык человек изучает, и многое другое. Но всё это невозможно без умения составлять красивые, разноплановые предложения, выражающие взгляды и мысли наиболее широким образом. Именно в этом нам и помогают так называемые слова-связки (linking words or linkers). Их нельзя отнести к определённой части речи, так как словом-связкой может быть союз, наречие, предлог, частица и т.д. Но основная функция этих слов заключается в том, что они придают нашим высказываниям логически завершённую форму, некую очерченную плоскость, к которой развивалась наша мысль.
