Tech Tools for Teachers

We're heading into summer! And we're on Episode 123 to round out the end of Season 4! 😄 Number geeks unite! On this episode, we share some awesome sites for students to review skills over the summer. These sites are easy-to-use during the school year, as well, but if you have families that would like a few ideas for keeping kids engaged and learning over the summer, these are really helpful!

• Science for Kids - Fun Experiments, Cool Facts, Online Games, Activities, Projects, Ideas, Technology
• Math Games, Videos, and Worksheets for the Common Core | Math Chimp
• SplashLearn - Fun Math & ELA Learning Program for PreK-Grade 5

It's mid summer and just about the time when all of those school supplies sales start kicking in. I know I still get excited about new pens and stickers, but I also try to start planning leisurely (if that is possible) for the new school year. So I thought our mid-summer check in would be something you can explore a bit this summer and then share with your students in the fall. We are talking about ways to give back to others in your community and through charities. So let's grab a sand shovel and dig in! 🏖

Pear Deck is still one of my goto tools for livening up my Google Slides in the classroom. On this episode, we re-explore Pear Deck (first mentioned in Episode 11). We also talk about another tool from the creators of Pear Deck—Flashcard Factory.

Have I mentioned that Pear Deck's mascot, Peary, is adorable?
