My Best Find YET!

http://jc-schools.net/tutorials/interactive.htm
I've been really anxious to find some good sites to use with my IWB. I love my board but I just don't feel like I do enough with it. This site is going to help me ALOT. The site provides links to sites and breaks down activities by subject and grade level. There's something here for everyone. And just because you don't have an IWB, doesn't mean this site won't be beneficial; there are lots of things you could use in a computer lab.
One of the best link is paragraph punch. This teaches the kids step by step how to write a paragraph. I think I would actually like model this on the IWB first and then have the kids do it in the computer lab. I guess really all you would need is a projector in your room for this, not an IWB, but I still really like the site.
Gamequarium is another great link from this page that has all sorts of reviews and practice games for language art concepts. I really could have used this last week when I was reviewing for the CRCT! Now I know for next year.
The list just goes on and on. There's no way I could talk about all the great links that this page contains. I noticed that there is some overlap in the links that I've seen on other pages. That's okay though because it just gives me another way to get there. I really encourage everyone to check out this link.

What a wonderful resource, even if you don't have an IWB. I could see me using this resource during my center time. I will introduce a link or links to students. Then during centers, they go to the board to interact with the site. Sometimes, I'll have the kids do a review of the site for me - thumbs up, thumbs down, tell me what they liked or didn't like, and when applicable share something they learned. They like the idea of telling my which sites they like to use and recommend for my other classes.

Jessica, I know our grades are already in but I want to thank you for this wonderful resource. I already have several math sites I want to use. I haven't even looked at the other subjects since I am so behind on movie watching and stuff. I will book mark this to view later in the next few weeks before my summer classes start.
I am so glad we worked on the same topic. I hope we are in class together again.

Great resource. I had a question however. Doesn't the developer offer some resources of their own..either Promethean or Smart? Also has anyone had any difficulty running IWB software on different platforms (Mac vs. PC)
