Hi - my experience has been that parents live the online feature of the readinglogs website. The reading logs or the vocabulary cards do not get lost. If children forget to bring the spelling lists, parents do not have to drive to a friend's house, etc.<br />
<br />
The site is free, so parents seem to like the convenience. If I remember correctly, there are letters for parents, so you can print and send them home with the kids.<br />

I really liked the link and I'm wondering how my student's parents would feel about it. I have in the past used Spelling City, but for some reason, only a few students took advantage - I guess it's in the way I present it. How do you get the word out to parents that resources like this are available?<br />

I felt like a kid in a technology candy store! What a wonderful collection of resources. Our school does Type to Learn for keyboarding instruction, but it's only available in our computer lab (one a week). The BBC site is perfect for putting on my TeacherWeb page so the kids can practice in the classroom and at home!<br />
<br />
Thanks!!!!<br />

I agree that clickers would be motivational - I'd like to see them at the faculty meetings too ;) I think my interactive whiteboard manufacturer has them for sale (I feel another grant coming on).<br />
Thanks for the suggestion,<br />

Hi Rob,<br />
Dream box looks highly motivating, I'm going to see about the free trial offer and I'm passing along the link on Back to School night Thursday!<br />

Thanks for the link. I often find that I waste time doing my research. I love the way the links are organized and there seems to be something for everyone!<br />

I have seen clickers in action in the 7th and 8th grade classroom. I can only imagine how much younger children would enjoy using the interactive clickers to share their answers. Classroom response systems (clickers) allow the student to respond to questions asked about a particular topic and gives instant feedback for the teacher. For example, introducing about the subject of space using clickers would show the teacher what areas of the unit to focus on and which areas the students are already…

Classroom response systems (clickers) allow the student to respond to questions asked about a particular topic and gives instant feedback for the teacher. For example, introducing about the subject of space using clickers would show the teacher what areas of the unit to focus on and which areas the students are already familiar with. It is an excellent technology tool to show results immediately in graph form and by percentages. Hi:

Hi:<br />
<br />
For the K-3 (their primary goal: reading, vocabulary and spelling), please try <a href="http://www.readinglogs.com">www.readinglogs.com</a>.<br />
It is a site that lets kids create reading logs and vocabulary cards online and submit to their teachers<br />
for review. Good luck

If you collaborate with your teachers feel free to use my resources page and link to it in your lab. I have bookmarked hundreds of interactive and informational sites sorted by subject and topic. All the links are graphical which makes it easy for "little hands" to use. Here is the link:<br />

Hi,<br />
checkout DreamBox Learning (<a href="http://www.dreambox.com/">http://www.dreambox.com/</a>). A web-based math development site for K-2. Well thoughout and engaging. Parents can assist at home as well. My understanding is they were doing some programs to offer to schools. It is a small, Seattle-based company.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps,<br />
