Wednesday's class opened my eyes to a plethora of new resources to use in the classroom. In the past few months, I have become bored with my typical computer activity to be an exploration on www.starfall.com While the resources there are wonderful and my students love to use it, I was frustrated with my inability to find other decent sources. While I found all of the sources investigated to be rich with ideas, I found ReadWriteThink and Illuminations to be most applicable to the the special education resource room. I was most pleased with the interactive student "games" on ReadWriteThink. There were a number of good phonics and phonemic awareness sorts which would easily work in our curriculum, require minimal prep, and be easily accessible to my students. I also re-discovered the PBSKids website through ReadWriteThink and am looking forward to using their materials in my classroom.
Since Wednesday night, I've been telling everyone about Thinkfinity! It's truly a wonderful educational resource that fits well into teachers' budgets.
