I would like to share a website that I plan to use soon in my special ed class.  It is Do2learn.com .  It includes lots of free and fun things for my students that are designed for their specific needs.

Reflection

So for the websites for teachers and students, David showed me two great sites!
 The first one he showed me was TED. this site was cool, it had many different topics to choose from.
He also showed me a really cool vocabulary site (vocabulary.com) it was very fun to mess with, any site like this one is a very great site! i know i will defiantly use this site!

Weblist Reflection

For the teaching website resource I found that I liked www.brighthubeducation.com that Chandelle showed tonight. It had many resources and activities that looked engaging.

For the student website I had fun working with www.sciencebob.com doing science experiments. I especially liked the videos that accompanied the experiments. Using multiple teaching methods addresses the many ways that people learn and accommodates for this in an attempt to get the ideas across to the student.

Website Reflection

Summer shared a website that is useful for both teachers and students: www.sciencekids.co.nz

For teachers it has experiment plans that a teacher can use in the classroom (such as a vinegar volcano which sounds like the coolest experiment ever!) (I never did get to make a volcano in school...) The site also provides several lesson and videos.

In addition to being useful for teachers, the site provides several games that further the lesson and provide great amounts of information on several science topics.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also really liked one of my websites so much that I just had to mention it here: www.vocabulary.com

This site has quizzes that are more designed as a game, with scores and such. It also provides a feature that allows you a student to formulate a vocab list for upcoming tests and quizzes the student on the list they provided.

I loved the website that Darrell gave us.

www.poets.org

Its very informational with lesson plans on how to build poems and it seems like it would be very helpful as teaching poems can be difficult.

The teacher website that I liked the most was Brighthub.com. It has a lot of lesson plans and ideas that looked very helpful. When I become a teacher and I need some ideas I might check this website out for inspiration.

Labor Day Weekend

HELLO ALL!!!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful 3 day weekend. I know I did because I didn't have to work or go to school on Monday.  Just sitting here thinking about all the things to come and I have to say i am most excited about this coming weekend. My puppy, Harper, is just shy over 4 months and we are starting puppy classes! She is a little German Sheppard.

OK so to elaborate on my last post on the about me. I am going for my Teaching Elementary Degree, will be transferring to NM Highlands, and through there I will be getting my dual BA in Ele/Spec Ed. I am currently an EA at Lincoln Middle School up in Rio Rancho.

Again hope everyone had a good weekend and I will see you tomorrow night!!!

Chandelle Rivera

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share an interesting website that I use for my college classes. It is Cram and it has an app for smart phones as well. In this free website you can create flash cards to study in a couple different ways. The site is fairly easy to use and  I would suggest this resource to any student / parent to assist in educational pursuits.

Have a great week!
Darrell Mays
