Big Universe
Big Universe provides students with high interest online reading materials. These materials can be modified for personal reading level, as well as regulated by the teacher. One way these texts can be used is to differentiate the reading in your classroom. Books can be picked by the teacher that will meet the needs of the students, yet remain on topic for the teaching needs. In grade K through 4, Big Universe books are available offline through the app. This makes reading at home easy on eLearning days!
Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr.
These websites are available for both students and staff members. Students may access Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr. through the student portal. It is only available to them during the school hours. Teachers may log into Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr. at any time to preview content. If you need the username or password, please contact me.
Many Brain Pop "movies" are great introductions, review, and recap for topics you cover in class. They are quick and easy to use.
Everyday Math ePresentations
Everyday Math has already created interactive white board activities that can aid in the teaching of Everyday Math lessons. The art, tables, manipulatives, tools, student pages, and titles of lessons are in place for you. The lessons can be accessed through your Everyday Math log-in, then downloaded to your computer to use through ActiveInspire. Each lesson is divided into 2 parts. The first part, "getting started," includes mental math and reflexes, math message, and review of study links. Part two includes section A of the lesson plans from the teacher's manual.
I need to get some updated information about Big Universe. It is completely different now. What I do know is that the books that have quizzes will now work on the iPads. However, the students cannot take the quiz on the app. They have to do it through Safari. The app works so much better for students and reading since the kids stay signed into their account.
