For my "Tool Box" I chose to set up a Delicious Account so that I could book mark resources that I will be using for a few different classes that I am currently in. These classes include: Reading Methods, Instructional Design and Math Methods, all of which I have lesson plan assignments coming up in. My Delicious account is set up with easy to understand titles for each link as well as clear tag so that it is easy to navigate each website based on topic or subject.
Here it is:
How it is Organized and Why I Chose these Sources:
I organized the titles of my websites alphabetically. However, I also tagged each website by subject and topic to make them easier to navigate through. I decided to add these sites mostly because I have a few lesson plans due in other classes and I thought this would be a great opportunity to research for them. This is why the topics in my delicious are very eclectic from earthworms to books, seed germination to snakes. I also included a few projects that I have used in Sunday school and a few resources such as my website that could be useful for parents.
How I will use it and How I will Share it:
I will use this as a resource for my classmates. If they have any lessons they are teaching on these subjects, here are a lot of resources. Also, I think that, in the future this is a great place to have resources posted for students. This I think would be especially helpful for specific projects and topics. For example, if students need to research snakes, I can have a list of bookmarked resources that they can find all in one place. I hope to share this with the tech in ed class by posting the list on my blog.
A Summary of Few Sites:
This website was remarkably helpful when I had to do a lesson plan on poetry. It is a great resource to find a fast and easy way to relate poetry to kids. It went through a step by step process of teaching that was helpful and also provided kid friendly examples of poetry types ( this can sometimes be hard to find). It also had a very wide variety of poetry forms within the website.
I love this website, it has so many simple, inexpensive but quality crafts and projects for kids. I used this particular recipe for a first grade class at my church and it worked really well. Also, the supplies were easy to find and relatively inexpensive. I found it to be the perfect holiday creation and the kids making their houses and taking it home. Overall, this website it a great resource for reliable crafts even if a gingerbread house is not what you are looking for.
I was so excited to find these printable pages. I am doing a reading lesson on the book "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" and this colorful pages would be a great supplement. I am unsure if I will use them in my lesson, however, they are a great resource for a classroom. This is also a great example of activity pages and printables that are available online today.
