This was a new site to me and I found it easy to use.  I chose tools for my toolkit that were supportive in my role as a special education teacher.

The tools I chose were:
  • Arcademic Skill Builders: Games for teaching all subjects K-6
  • Best Evidence Encyclopedia (BEE) : An evidence based magazine for teachers and administrators
  • Brainboost: a natural language search engine to generate several queries that are submitted to other search engines.
  • CAST Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Book Builder: I'd like to see if I can use it to support my struggling students.
  • Create Online Behavior Report Cards: Probably more useful in K-6, but I thought it was an interesting concept with so many behavior problems surfacing as out-of-district students are brought back into the district.
  • GenkiMath.com: math games to support primary school classrooms. I thought I could use it with my grandson who is rapidly moving through the academic curriculum of kindergarten!
  • Managing Technology: Tips from the Experts:   a site that supports educational technology from the ground up, including management tips, lesson plans and professional development.
  • Tipline:  Gates' Computer Tips:  who could give better tips than someone named Gates? 
I look forward to returning to the site for new tools.
