Article: Top 10 Resources for Students @http://educationaltechnologyguy.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-top-10-free-web-resources-for.html Author Dave Andrade compiles his list of Top 10 resources for students to use in the classroom. Some are the same tools listed for teachers and how they connect together. One example is Dweeber, an online Homework Help site. See below for more specifics on that site!

http://www.dweeber.com/ Dweeber is a site created to help students study together and get homework help. Students create a log in and create study sessions, inviting friends and classmates, or working with other students around the country. Work together as a group or post to which you need help and your search will go public for others to see and assist you.

 @http://www.sumdog.com/ Sumdog is a free online Math website where students can work on different subjects in fun games against people all over the world! After creating a log in, students can choose game like Jet Ski Rescue, Pop Tune and Junk Pile to math concepts. Play with friends or students from all over. Teachers can create classes and class competitions as well to be used in the classroom.

 50 Summer Sites for Kids and Teachers http://edtechideas.com/2010/06/09/50-summer-sites-for-kids-and-teachers/ This site hosts articles, links, and inforamtion for both teachers and students about technology. ONe of their pages, as seen when following the link, shows 50 sites that students (and teachers) can use for educational purposes. Some of this include Magic Tree House, ABCya!, and Word Mosaic. Visitors can get a small synopsis of the sites and then visit the ones that are appealing to them!



@http://www.4kids.org/ 4kids is geared towards students but can also be for parents and teachers. It was created by educators, students and technology experts and contains games, articles, videos, and polls. One feature that I liked was the search feature. It allows students a place to search the internet and results in safe, filtered sites for which to find information. There are several ways for children to use this site for fun and for school!

10 Podcasts for Teachers and Kids

http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/10-podcasts-teachers-and-kids This article on Scholastic.com reviews 10 kid-friendly Podcasts to follow and gives an overview of each of the podcasts. Some included information regarding animals, or the reading of literature. One that was listed was a language podcast in which you can subscribe to learn a new foreign language. The one that I thought was the most is one that shares 3 minutes about books to get you excited about a book that you may be reading!
