Favorite Web Site #1:
http://www.teachwithme.com is one of my favorites because it has so many ideas for me to teach in classroom. It has so many activities that children will enjoy and fun way to learn. It is enjoyable and easy to follow. All subjects have different kind of themes for activities.
Favorite Web Site #2:
www.readwritethink.com is great website for the students who needs a visual aid for reading. I am a Deaf Education Major and I find it very visual for deaf students. The students can work in the group and discuss about what they have read. I think it is very helpful for them to have story map and have a better understanding at reading.
Web Site Evaluation:
I liked that you have examples of a search engine like google. The video has nice animation to it. I think it was a unique and an awesome idea to chose a website that helps students who need visual assistance becuase I feel like that is an area not many websites focus on. Nice Job!
ReplyDeleteI liked how you gave examples of search engines to make sure those who are reading truly understand what you are talking about. The video was really cute(: I have never looked at teachwithme before, but it seems to be a very useful site! I like how it has theme for each subject. That will make it easier to keep things creative and students engaged!
ReplyDeleteI love both of the websites you picked! I had never heard of the first one, but the second one also has great resources for teachers as well as students. The video was very interesting and gave great information!
ReplyDeleteReadWriteThink is one of my absolute favorite websites! You are right- It is great for deaf education and does provide many visuals for students. I hope you will put this site to good use in future placements!
