This website would be a great tool to use for creating new
teaching resources for students. It has a vast array of templates
that make laying out the worksheet a quick and simple process.
You can create everything from quizzes, to random wheels, and
label diagrams. All the materials you create can be done as a
class with the teacher running the activity or individually by the
students. There are options to set timers, send just the
assignments to students without having to go to a full website, Pricing
share your creations with other teachers and see creations Basic - Free 1
they've shared, and embed the activity on a website. I can see Standard - $6/per month
this website being a great tool to create exactly the kind Pro -$9/per month
instructional materials you want. It can be hard at times to find School Plans also available
the perfect worksheet or tool to present new materials. One
worksheet may have some information you want to share but
either extra information that is not needed or not all information
needed. This would be the perfect website to combine and
www.wordwall.net
create the perfect resource to present to your students.
 This website would be a different way for students
to review material they have learned in the
classroom before a test. You can assign lessons for
your students to complete and see the results to
better assist your students where they are
struggling. With 110,000+ practiced items in
different areas of content there is plenty to choose
from to engage and support content being presented
in the classroom. With being able to adapt the
curriculum to your needs, quickly see data, and
ability to share with fellow teachers this is a great
tool to see where your students are succeeding and
need more support individually and as a class.

 This website is so cool! Instead of taking your
standard equation approach with the limitations of
an expensive graphing calculator, this website offers
a visual approach to help children really understand
each parts of the equation in a fun meaningful way.
One of the sections, called marbleslides, is like that
of a pinball machine wherein students must enter
the correct equation for the ball to follow the line
to meet the target. By changing the elements of the
equation, the students control the movement of
the ball. This is just one example of offerings of the
site, which also includes easy to
understand Classroom Activities, and objectives
(both for teachers and students, Graphing Pricing: FREE
Calculator, Scientific Calculator, Test
Practice, Geometry Tool, and beyond. In addition to
https://www.desmos.com/
a happy robot that will teach children about
integers and fractions, one of the most exciting
things I found on the website, were morning math
check-ins to ask kids how they are feeling each day.
The best part is that the website has several
accessibility features including the ability to pair
with braille embossing software etc. and IT IS ALL
FREE!!! A Definite necessity for math fun for all!

Jamboard is am extremely easy online google app to

use. I taught myself within seconds. Although
simplistic in design, (there are no words so even
kindergarten students could master it easily)
Jamboard would serve a purpose for just about
anyone. It could be a great brainstorming device for
creative writing or research assignments, or it could
prove useful as a quick assessment tool for group
discussions on mindset lessons. I even saw a teacher
this year use it as a replacement for the traditional
valentine exchange. Plus, it is free!!

At one time, Bitmoji would have seemed
a bit far-fetched, but as we continue to
bridge the gap between the virtual
classroom and the real classroom,
developing a personal and relatable
student-teacher connection is
paramount. Bitmoji offers simple ways
to spruce up your online documents to
help engage students with familiar and
personalized characters. All you need is
an email account and an imagination
because It's FREE!!!

This website looks amazing. It has many different features like a
waiting room, so that kids can log in and get ready for the
lesson without actually messing with anything. It also has line
tools, drawing tools, shape tools; it also has the ability to insert
pictures, PDF's, math equations, emoji's, music sheets, etc.
Each student would also get their own whiteboard that they
can work on and manipulate similar to the teachers. The
teacher is also able to see all of the students' whiteboard below
their own, making it easy to see who is on task and who needs
extra help. Another awesome feature is that you can create
pages on your whiteboards and "push" them to students so
they can work on the problems you made, or you can also make
them the background so they can only add their work rather
than manipulate the original. This can work even during in-
person teaching. If all students had a tablet or a laptop, the
teacher can present using the projector and all of the students
can use the manipulative on their devices as the teacher
monitors on the website and while walking around.

This is perfect to make pre-prepped assignments and lessons that the
students can follow along with and show their work on. They can use their
phones, laptops, or tablets to log in and enter a lesson. The teacher can see
every students work in real time and it also grades their work as they go
while alerting the teacher of anyone who might need extra help. Students
can even ask their classmates for help, anonymously. That would help a lot
of the kids who are shy in class. You can see which student is helping
another student, which students are stuck on a certain problem. This would
make helping and assessing students so much easier. Being able to see
where kids are in real time and allowing them to work at their own pace on
assignments, rather than zipping through to get onto the next one, would
help so many students learn the material. Students are even able to express
their answers in different ways that makes sense to them, like drawing, text,
or audio. This website can even be used on the go, so students who might
be at home sick or on vacation could still log in and complete the lesson.
This can be used for exit tickets, blended learning, tutoring, note taking, and
for classroom management.
This website provides templates for teachers to
create worksheets for various subjects (Math,
English, Social Studies, etc.). Class schedules can
also be created. There are also many lesson plan
templates available. The lesson plans come in date
formats (daily, weekly, etc.) or class subject
formats. Students can complete an array of projects
and presentations: videos, posters, brochures,
yearbooks, etc. Students can also collaborate and
create projects virtually in real-time. Several user tip
sheets are available for both teachers and students.

This is a very useful website for virtual
learning. However, I think it could be
instrumental in in-class learning too. It
could be used in the “flipped classroom”
format. Teachers could create lecture
videos using the whiteboard. The
students could those presentations at
home. Then, during the in-class session,
students could focus on the practical
application of those learned concepts. If
the teacher is absent, substitutes could
show their videos as well.
