Week 6; cool tools

For the math manipulatives site, I think it would be a great tool to use in the classroom as a weekly warm up. You could upload it onto the tv and instead of using worksheets over and over, have the students use a math journal and incorperate the site to help teach or practice different tasks as warm ups. I love the Kidzone page because it could be used as a social studies incorperation as well as language arts. Students could find out what happened on a certain day in history or journal about the "quote of the day" and what it means to them. It could also be used as a morning brain teaser to get them thinking by using the riddles that are found on the left hand side of the page. The graph tool could help students learn how to graph and create their own. With the click of the mouse, students can be enriched with technology and have questions they may have answered without feeling uncomfortable or unable to ask questions. The dare to compare button allows students to compare anything from history to science and anything in between. This site is great to use for both teachers and students in the classroom and at home for brain sharpening tools. I also liked word sift because I love to write and I would like my students to share the same love for it since they will be doing alot of it in fourth grade. It's great to use instead of an old thesaurus, especially for my bilingual students. They will have a greater learning experience by using the web and this neat tool called Word sift. Awesome tools!!!
