Classroom Management and Curriculum Resources

[flamingeaux]

Teacherspayteachers.com- lots of resources for lesson planning, and assessments. Lots of free stuff.

MobyMax.com- great resource, that your students can use at home.  You can assign lessons based on grade and standard, and the paid version will also let you monitor IEP goals.

Safeshare.tv- Allows you to safely share Youtube and Vimeo videos in the classroom without ads.

Symbalooedu.com- Cloud based bookmark management. Think of it as a dashboard for favorite sites and resources.

I instal adblock on my work computer so that whenever I'm projecting videos/internet pages on the SMART board there are no ads.

I also recommend downloading any youtube videos to your computer so that there are no ads and you always have them in case of internet issues: www.onlinevideoconverter.com/video-converter

Kiddle is a kid friendly visual search engine - www.kiddle.co/ 

For brain breaks:
Go Noodle - www.gonoodle.com (there are some great calming/mindfulness ones, too)
Cosmic Kids Yoga - www.cosmickids.com/category/watch/
There's also some fantastic resources on TPT for this, most of them aren't free though.

Educational YouTube Channels for singing/learning:
Scratch Garden - www.youtube.com/user/ScratchGarden
StoryBots - www.youtube.com/user/storybots

CommonLit (https://www.commonlit.org) has quickly become my favorite spot for nonfiction articles that are easy to navigate and adjust lexile levels. Also a great resource for paired texts and insightful writing prompts.

noredink.com is my hands-down favorite grammar/syntax review and reinforcement tool. I generally spend a day or two in the fall getting kids used to it, and then assign modules as practice and/or enrichment depending on what each student needs to work on in this area from essay to essay. The free version is more than adequate for most of my students' needs.

flocabulary.com is always a hit, and I've caught kids muttering the songs under their breath during quizzes. Earworms abound, but they really work for reinforcing basic ELA concepts. I share a subscription with my co-teacher to keep costs down.

A lot of the free resources I use were posted, but I piloted a blended learning program this year using the following. Definitely both worth it if your district is willing to pay!

Achieve3000--Common Lit on steroids. This program provides over 20,000 articles, each of which can range from a Lexile of 400 to 1500. It's adaptive, so you can follow students' progress and students will always be net exactly where they are. Each article comes with a pre-reading poll, during reading annotation support, multiple choice and open ended question, and extension activities in a bunch of subjects. VERY expensive, but my department all voted to keep it over using Newsela or Common Lit and getting something else.

Revision Assistant--When we purchased this, I think our school was one of two or three using it in the state. It's an adaptive writing program from the TurnItIn people. It gives students on-the-spot feedback on their essays and I've definitely seen an improvement in planning and citing evidence from using it this year.

I've joined a few tech groups for Hyperdocs, which I am loving. There's a group on FB that has a ton of free resources and ready-made units.

I've never heard of this, but I am definitely going to check it out.  I'm hoping to make my Chem II class this year a flipped classroom, so this may work out perfectly.

Here is a wiki will a whole list of resources and links all in one place: wiki.itap.purdue.edu/display/insite

Jalapeñomel, do you have padlet? I don't really use it, but here is one with a ton of Hyperdocs. I think I got this from the FB group, but they are constantly adding / posting new material.
