New Technologies

Jump Start

This site is very interactive and kid friendly, as well as teacher friendly!  The layout of the site is very nice as well, making it easy to get to games, worksheets, activities, lesson plans, etc.  They also give ideas for holidays as well.  Jump Start provides resources for kindergarten through fifth grade.  While there is a lot you can use for free, if you pay the $6 monthly fee, you are granted many more membership bonuses.

Hot Chalk has all of your "lesson plans by teachers for teachers."  This is a great site because it covers all grades, all the way up to high school.  It also offers a lesson plan writing guide with tons of tips and examples.  There is also a field trip section which offers "less-stress" field trips and virtual field trips as well.  




TenMarks offers online math practice and instruction for grades 2 through high school.  Though only a small portion of it is free (the entire program is $40), I really liked how it is designed to help all students-- enrichment and special education among others.  It also provides teachers with the tools for assessment and instruction for all 3 tiers of Response to Intervention (RtI).  They offer a summer program so that children won't lose their math skills over their vacation.
