Technology Website Assignment http://www.carteretcountyschools.org/staffdev/trlp/kinderBest.htm Great math lesson plans incorporating technology: Sorting activity: "The Way Animals Move" Students will use KidPix to stamp and sort animals in groups. Graphing lesson: "Favorite Farm Animals/Favorite Pets." Students will use a spreadsheet with a pre-made bar graph to graph their favorite animals. Sorting lesson: "Caterpillar Capers" The students will sort and classify healthy and non healthy snacks using KIDSPIRATION after reading/discussing "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." http://www.internet4classrooms.com/ This site has tons of internet games, linked by subjects, grade level, for instrucion or resources. Under the kindergarten link, I found many games to practice the alphabet, phonics, online storeies, worksheets, handwriting activities, lesson plan ideas, Dolch Word sites, arts & crafts activities, and so much more. http://www.starfall.com/ This site consists of the following categories: ABC's, Learn to Read, It's Fun to Read, and I'm Reading. Interactive site which the students advance from listening to/practicing alphabet sounds to reading/listening to online stories. Students can also practice writing a story by choosing/clicking on story parts and characters. Calendar skills are also practice - the site asks questions and students click on the correct day of the week.
