What is this Site?
This site is designed to give educators a number of resources and tools to help them deliver effective lessons to their students. The resources used in this website have been chosen because they are highly effective tools for in the classroom. The resources chosen are to design, create, and implement lessons in the classroom that go against traditional methods of instruction. We all want to be the best that we can be, so why not start online? There are numerous resources on the internet, and this website offers a list that creates an easier way to access these tools.
Here are some ideas as to why these resources were chosen: Time Some of these resources were chosen because they are very time-efficient. We use the term time-efficient as the tools can be used very easily and they do not take much time to learn or use. This is very important for teachers, as we all live very busy lives and do not have much time to search and create new things for our students. Easy to Use There is nothing worse than finding an excellent resource online and having to take a week to learn the program. We do not have time for that; we need resources now. So, some of these tools are for just that. This site aims to make life easier for yourself by putting in the work, but saving time while doing so. There are many tools that are easily accessed that can transform a lesson from great to exemplary. Looks Good Not going to lie here, students love to see things that are visually appealing to them. Using these resources will allow for just that, students will want to use them. We have the ability to be creative when designing lessons, so why not utilize these tools to make the best lessons. Also, it reflects well on us as teachers amongst our colleagues to stand out above the rest. Expand Knowledge Teachers need this; I believe it is necessary. We as teachers should always be looking for new ideas or ways to make the students experience better in the classroom. Move away from traditional methods like writing notes from the chalkboard or lecturing. Find new ways of creating and delivering lessons to your students by finding new ways or seeing the new technology thats out there. That is exactly what this is aims for, new technology that some may have never seen or used. Free Last but not least, technology that is free. Why fight the school budget, or even your own? The resources picked for this website is completely free. Free does not mean that it is bad, but simply for all to use. This was important when resources were chosen, as they have to be easily accessed and whenever teachers may please. |
