Thanks, Jill, for sharing this resource! I haven't quite figured out how to use it , but I'm excited to have my students try it, and I'm sure they'll be able to help me!

Here's the one Jill made!

Going Batty!

Students in several classrooms around the district are exploring bats. Here are some sites I found that might be helpful.

One teacher I know created this Voki and is going to have her students create one, too.

Here's the avatar I created of myself using My Avitar Editor.

I can't wait to have students create their own! They'd be great for Voice Threads, wikis, and other applications. They could also be used in PowerPoint shows.

Tonight I have the honor of presenting to the Sandhills Reading Council. I will be sharing some of my favorite internet sites and resources. As teachers strive to meet the needs of their students, I hope these will be of some help to them. Here is my "Differentiated Resources: A to Z.

Math Websites

I've been getting several requests for math resources from students in my online class and from teachers in the district. I love being able to help when I can, so I've searched the web to find some differentiation resources for math. Here is what I've found so far.


e-Learning for Kids online courses in math and other subjects, too!




I've also found some great interactive lessons and activities on BBC School's Bitesize site.

There are also some demo lessons on the Time 4 Learning site.

I've used some of the demo lessons on the Math Upgrade site.

For skill practice, the IXL site may be useful, or head over to Mr. Nausbaum's site for some great math games!

There are a ton of math sites here. I admit I have not gotten around to exploring them all, but I'm sure you will find something that your students will like.

Don't forget BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. If you have forgotten the username or password, just email me!
