EdHelper.com

I thought that in addition to posting a page on our EdTech Wiki, I'd also include a post on here about a valuable resource, EdHelper.com. This website is an excellent resource for teachers and includes quite a variety of resources and activities. There are many practice problems for many different subjects, including math, reading, foreign language, social studies, and science. You can also pick activities for different subjects, such as in math, you can view worksheets for long division, fractions, multipliying 2 digit numbers times 2 digit numbers, and so on. I found this website very useful this past summer when I was tutoring a girl and I was looking for some extra word problems for her. I think that this site can be a valuable source for any future teacher, especially since it includes specific activities for certain times of the year which children can particularly enjoy (for instance, now it has a bunch of activities for Halloween). There is a membership fee to axcess all of the information on EdHelper. The cost is just $19.99 for a year of basic membership and $39.99 for a year of their "everything" membership. However, you don't need to be a member to axcess some of the resources on the site. I strongly encourage everyone to access http://www.edhelper.com and see what sorts of resources it has that might be of interest to you.

Post #1

So I decided that it might be a good idea to post on my Blog to actually see if I could figure out how to use it. It seems to me that using a Blog is fairly simple. I know some professionals that have Blogs, and they always looked like they were complicated and too involved for me. However, this site is really neat in that it really sets up the Blog for you. You then can customize it to meet your needs or change it so it's more your taste. I'm curious to see over the next few weeks what is going to come of this Blog and what sorts of different ideas I'm going to include in my posts. Well, I guess that's all for now!!


Have a great rest of your weekend everyone :-)
