Fuel the Brain | Educational Resources and Games


I just got done playing a memory matching game for math, Math Match, and a fraction game called Jelly Golf. These are just some great interactive games for the whiteboards. There are also over 150 Brain Booster (word problems) you can print out as a PDF. Those seem to be limited to K-3 right now. I will be having my own kids play these games over the summer to help stay sharp.

Free Technology for Teachers: Stop Bullying Now - A Resource for Kids and Adults


Kids' Stories, Songs, Games, Educational Activities for Children, Free! - Speakaboos


This site has lots of possible uses in the classroom, the library and even home. The "Record Your Own" feature that will be coming soon is very exciting to me. I can see using it myself to share stories to help kids with comprehension or help kids practice their own fluency. I can see parents and grandparent using it to share a favorite bedtime story with a child. So many things I can imagine. This is one site to keep an eye on and explore more.
