Over the past few weeks I have been working on exploring different websites that can be used by children and teachers inside the classroom and outside the classroom. All of these websites were extremely interesting and very entertaining! Below the links are attached for all of these wonderful webpages! 

This is wonderful tool for students to use at home, school and anywhere in between. Students are responsible to continue working on their schoolwork outside of the classroom as well as during time given to them in the classroom. This tool allows students to use different computers, smart phones and ipads to access their documents wherever they are. Pictures, presentations, documents, articles and many other important documents are able to be saved to this application and accessed by the student easily. Older students use this application more often but younger students will be able to save their artwork and creations that they develop on the computer to this application. The access and availability of documents that this tool allows has helped students in numerous ways. Students no longer need to remember to grab their flash drive before they leave home students can no submit it to their drop box. When they log into their drop box, that document will be waiting to be retrieved. In the age of smart phones and ipads, this tool allows students to look over their documents on these technological tools. Students will be able to use this tool throughout their academic journey and access old material that they have saved to their drop box.

Wordle is a wonderful way to create a beautiful word cloud. Students especially in the younger grades will have a blast creating these colorful clusters of words. This is a simple and easy tool that students of all ages will have when creating these projects. Not is this process easy but it helps students with categorizing and organization. Depending on the student, the word cloud can be a poem, random words, categorized words or related topics. Teaching the students how to use this website is easy and the kids will really enjoy working on the computer to create a colorful cluster of words that they took the time to chose and create.

Kerpoof is a fun and interactive website that allows the students to use their creativity to create stories, cards, play games and create pictures. The home page of kerpoof is simple and easy to navigate through and students will love exploring through the different options that the website offers. The younger students can play spelling games and create pictures by dragging backgrounds and objects onto their screen. Older students have the option to create an entire story using the different scenes, characters and decorations that are supplied on each page. Kerpoof had many different options for students to show their creativity. Teachers will have a great time watching their students explore the wonderful site and let their imaginations run wild.

Twisty Noodle is a great website for teachers to use when looking for handouts and practice sheets for their students. This website offers many different coloring pages, writing pages, handout and other worksheets for students to do during spare time or during instructional lessons. There are many worksheets that can benefit students learning and writing development, especially for primary students. Worksheets that allow the students the trace words to practice spelling and number worksheets are all available on this website. Many teachers struggle to keep kids content when they finish early with work, but these worksheets will keep the student's attention while having a great time!

Sheppards Software is a great website that allows students to play games, take quizzes and solve puzzles when reviewing material. This is a great website for students to use becaue it covers all of the different subjects and allows the students to review by playing fun games. The students learn so much when they are reviewing using this websites because they do not realize that they are studying! Teachers should definitely use this website when encouraging students to study and reminding them that it is not torturous to study! Sheppards Software offers many different opportunites for students to review in a fun and exciting way.
