3 Favourite Learning Sites

Over the year we will be working on many web2.0 learning sites.

One particular resource that children and adults may enjoy using is Bitstrips. This interactive site allows students to create graphic stories and pictures based on the content we've leaned in class. I will be encouraging students to use this site often as it is not only a creative place to learn...but it is also FUN!

Another resource you might enjoy learning about is Voice Thread. This site is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate slides and leave comments through either using voice, texts, audio file, or video. 

Glogster is another great site to use. It's a multimedia tool & expression space for young people, students, educators, and all creative people through its innovative Glog format and the new online phenomenon, Glogging.

BEST RESOURCE

Over the school year, you will be asked to visit the Grand Erie District School Board website. Here you will find a parent portal with a huge amount of resources that will guide you through any information you need to know about the District.

Another site to look at is the Ministry of Education, and please consider the Curriculum Site. Is there something particular that stands out for you in these two sites? With your child, please visit the curriculum for our grade and find two topics that he/ she is interested in this year. Please comment below.

Tips for Parents: This online site will help you become aware of the curriculum requirements for your child's grade level.
