Quiz Star ** [|http://QuizStar.4teachers.org] Quiz Star is a website where you can create quizzes online for your students to access from any location. Students can complete quizzes and review their answers immediately. You can also attach multimedia file to questions. I think this is a good tool for teachers to use because being able to attach multimedia files to questions can allow for the test to reach more learning types. [|www.Disciplinehelp.com] This website is a reference for handling over 117 misbehaviors at school and at home. I think this is a good resource for all teachers to have because it can tell you about various different behaviors and how to handle them. [|www.aaacertificates.com] This website allows you to print out various award certificates. Some certificate printouts are free but for access to all awards requires a membership fee $49.95 for **__Five__** years I think giving students is a good way to recognize and reward your students for various accomplishments from creativity to getting a perfect score on a test. [|www.values.com] This website is the website for “The Foundation for a Better Life”. This website contains information about values and inspirational stories. As an educator you can sign up to receive free inspirational posters. It is always good to try and inspire your students this website can help with that. You are able to print out their ads which contain inspirational messages. You can also create your own ad or have students create an ad and hang them around the classroom. [|http://rubistar.4teachers.org] RubriStar is a free tool that can be used to help teacher create quality rubrics. Rubrics are good to give students because they show exactly what is expected of them in your classroom, and when completing projects. [|www.BrainyQuote.com] This is a website of quotes that you can browse by topic or author. I like a quote that’s why I chose this website. Quotes can be used in various ways (i.e. posting them around the classroom). Quotes can be used to motivate students, included in a hook, and in a lesson activity. [|www.Teachertube.com] This website is you tube for educators. It’s a place where teachers can share videos, documents, audios, and photos. I like this website because it is a good resource for multimedia files. You can find files about almost every topic at this website. You can easily integrate the files here into your lessons. [|www.JumpStart.org] JumpStart.org is a website dedicated to Financial Literacy for young adults. I like this website because under the resources tab you can find a long list of financial literacy resources for teachers and students including: The FDIC’s “Money Smart and The Securities and Exchange Commission - for teachers both of which offer free material to educators. You can use the information on this site to make financial management lesson plans. [|www.teacherweb.com] This website allows teachers to create a webpage that their students and parents can access. Teachers can post almost anything school related and also create on-line assignments that students can submit the answers to on-line. The cost is $39.00 a year I believe this website is worth the $39 there are a lot of features that you can use to create your webpage. The web site is also user friendly. [|www.SchoolRack.com] Use SchoolRack to create a classroom website or educational blog for students, parents, and colleagues to visit! You can build a classroom portal similar to BlackBoard.
