Websites for Teachers and Students

By Rochel Abrams

• http://www.myhistory.org
  This site offers a wonderful opportunity to integrate history and writing. Teachers can encourage students to do the activities on this website with their children, parents, and grandparents. It would be a great learning experience for all.

  Students can share this site with their children. By helping their children learn to read, students strengthen their own reading skills. Teachers can also adapt some of these website’s activities for their adult students as long as these adult students do not realize that this website’s activities were designed for children.

  Teachers can find hundreds of educational links that they can use with students: information on math, recycling, games, and tutorials. Almost anything!

  Math is fun at this site that features problem-solving activities, games, stories and activities. This site might be a good alternative for students bored with bookwork. However, it does not offer a comprehensive math program.

  Okaloosa-Walton Community College established this site to offer activities for all workforce readiness skills standards as part of a Region I literacy grant. The college has posted activities to address all workforce readiness skills standards.
