Melissa in Australia Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi guys. I am studying to become a primary school teacher, and I need to come up with ideas of teaching embracing technology. I am trying to come up with a list of curriculum that is available online. what I have at the moment are: Rosetta Stone http://www.therosettastone.com.au/ref=http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&redir=http://www.rosettastone.com/ computer math curriculum http://www.time4learning.com/math.htm http://www.mathletics.com.au/ phonics http://www.explodethecode.com/ http://www.starfall.com/ interactive dissection web siteshttp://dissect.froguts.com/welcome.html I was wondering if anyone can think of anything else? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 It's not an entire curriculum but I remember using programs like Oregon Trail and Amazon Trail etc. Also programs like Zoombinis for logic skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Are you looking for ideas that can be used in a classroom? I'm also in school and our technology projects are things that can be utilized by teachers and students in the classrooms. I've never had a whole project on finding technology though. They've just been resources meant to be used with other types of resources for lesson plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 What I am after is resources that a teacher could use in a classroom , plus what a student could use independently. it is for an assignment I am doing for my teaching degree. It is just one element of the assignment. What we are assigned to do is answer the question " What is the nature of the 21st century learner? we are doing it in a group of 5. I am covering the area about literacy and numeracy still being essential . Each other person is covering a different area, but the one that was to to technology pulled out of the university last week ( without having done any work!), so we are dividing up her part of the assignment .. we are making a web page, and were hoping to have a recourse area with descriptions of different techno options for learning.

sandellie4 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 We have two children who use tech almost exclusively (they can't write). One of their favorite programs for practicing problem-solving skills is "Math Mysteries." One of the girls has a math disability, so we teach problem solving separately from computation. "Math Mysteries" focuses on the problem solving without their getting mired down in the computation. They learn computation, too, of course, but it was difficult to get them in learning situations where they could learn problem solving because their computational skills were such a handicap.

Arch at Home Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Calvert has an on-line spelling program. Epgy has an extensive math program. K12 has at least some online components. There are a large number of math drill websites that you could easily search for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbi in Texas Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Don't know if this is what you are looking for,but Write at Home was a great asset for my son. His writing improved dramatically. There are other online writing programs as well. Debbi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murmer Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 internet4classrooms.com (I think) has a variety of activities divided by grades and "standards" (of the site not state divided standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
