Teachers+Sharing+Ideas

Welcome, teachers and staff! In the discussion section of this page, list questions, post answers, and link to resources you've found to be successful in your classes! The more we post, the more we'll learn!

Ever wonder what's going on "Out There"?? It's so important to investigate what's going on in other schools around the world. It helps us gauge an understanding of "the big picture" and open our minds to new ideas and changes. Here's a blog post called [|Educational Blogs You Should be Investigating], from the //Making Teachers Nerdy// blog. (Great title!) Here you can find content and inspiration for all grade levels, subjects, and more! Very comprehensive and worth checking out!

Here's a great site that I found. This site is from scholastic, entitled "Study Jams". There are kid-friendly videos, teacher resources, quizzes, etc.. I found videos from this link for Fractions, the Water Cycle, Determining the Missing Operation, and Solids, Liquids, & Gases (this is the topic I was searching for, and it has a GREAT song about the three states of matter). Look for links from this page for the other topics mentioned.

This website is so cool! Zoom in on a soda can to see every microscopic detail down to the atoms! Activities, information and even videos are attached to each part of the “zoom” process.
