[|Tech Sites by Grade Level] **NEW****

[|http://www.e-learningforkids.org/courses.html#compskills] Lots of resources on everything from simplifying fractions to learning letters.

Probably one of the most valuable sites here for SmartBoard Lessons sorted by grade level and content area. Why reinvent the wheel?
=== [|Technology Ideas to Inspire] check it out for presentations that provide MANY ideas for using technology with students. All sorted by content area with links out to all sites mentioned, (i.e. Wordle, Storybird, etc.) ===

[|CREATE Site for Technology Ideas]
=== www.cosmeo.com This is put out by Discovery Channel and does have a fee, but you can set up student accounts and customize the site and activities to compliment classwork. ===

**@http://eduscapes.com/tap/topic86.htm** **Go to the bottom half of this page to find links by content area.**

This site has awesome hands on explorations and challenges for students. The two I have used are ZOOMdo and ZOOMbuild, and have had great experiences with them, plut its' free!

=== [|Monster Exchange] Students work alone or in pairs to create and color a monster. They then write a story-style description, set of instructions, or "recipe" for someone else to draw their monster and post this online. A partner classroom from somewhere around the world must redraw the monsters using only their partners description! Fun way to get students writing and paying attention to detail and wording! I will be doing this in Tech class! ===

=== [|SuperTeacher Worksheets] ANYTHING you need with answers keys and activity printables. Can be used on SmartBoard as review activities, homework pages, absolutely anything you can think of from preschool through 6th grade in all content areas! Hink Pinks, Sudoku, Mad Minutes, decimals, place value, telling time, handwriting/cursive, phonics, science experiments, social studies, main idea pages, literature circle materials, book clubs.....everything for free:) Very easy to navigate and use!===

===[|www.bigiqkids.com] Once you have a login name you can input your spelling words to practice in a live spelling bee with the kids! Great for spelling review! Other topics on site as well, and it's free!===
