In the world we live
in today there are new resources that are of great value to educators hiding around
each corner. One of the best resources I’ve
found for ideas that are helpful in the classroom is Pinterest. Other teachers and educators are able to
create boards and add pins that relate to all types of aspects that affect the
classroom. I have found numerous ideas
that are useful for bulletin boards, lesson plans, science experiments, and
various other things. Another great
resource for educators are the numerous blogs that other educators have written
about what practices they follow in their classes, which have worked as well as
what practices they have found that do not work. New teachers especially should make a point
to read the blogs that are out there written by other professionals. They can serve as a great teaching tool for
beginning teachers to find ideas that have taken other teacher’s years of
experience to learn. Along with websites
that are useful for the teachers, there are also lots of great websites for the
teachers to allow students to learn. A great website that I like to use for
math is a virtual manipulatives website.
The teacher as well as the students can choose what kind of manipulative
they need to work with and use them as if they were really handling them. This site is great for students who are just
learning math concepts and need some hands on practice to help them grasp the
knowledge. The math manipulatives website
that I really like is http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html,
but I’m sure there are other great sites out there as well.
