Week 6: Classroom Aids

Part 1: Math manipulatives. I teach fractions in music as teaching rhythms. The pie graphs would be useful for my visual learners in this respect.

Part 2: Kid Zone. This is neither fun nor easy to use.

Part 3: Google Lit Trips: these look great to make with a classroom, so that the kids can visualize parts of the world with the book they are studying. I sometimes find a musical book, and this would work great with this sort of lesson.

Part 4: Scribble Maps: fun! I like not only finding the place we are studying, but circling it or drawing a line from one place to another for relativity. Very relateable to kids, I think.

Part 5: Word sift. This finds synonyms in a really interesting and visually appealing way. It really makes the writer think about the words he uses and their alternatives. I could use it to cheat on my blog! Ha!
