  • Pintrest.com site is absolutely an amazing site for the teacher who is not artistically inclined and lacks imagination such as me.  This site shares many ideas to about arts and crafts for your students to create.  Some of the crafts are downloadable for free.  Some of the sponsors are teachers and invite you to join their personal website that can help you develop your classroom layout.

 

 

  • YouTube.com is a search engine that helps you find tutorials, videos, and songs that a teacher can incorporate into the classroom.

 

 

  • Class DOJO.com is one of the best resources to communicate to your families immediately.  This saves teachers so much time during the day.  It is like instant messaging without having to call the parent by phone, sending an email or wait until parent pick up time.  It helps the teacher be more efficient when having to send 1 message to all parents. You can send the 1 message simultaneously to all parents.  The teacher will save a lot of trees by elimination of using paper to communicate.  You can post “what’s going on” in the area of Class Story.  It also gives teachers an opportunity to take a photo or video to show how the student is doing as school. It is also a way for parents to communicate to the teacher instantly

 

 

  • Teachers Pay Teachers.com has materials for teachers to use in the classroom. The materials can range from patterns of letters and numbers to an entire lesson plan pre-written.  Some materials are free.
