Useful Information In and Out of the Classroom

Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week, thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you for coming by and visiting!

Manga High – free, math games and teachers who register there classes can monitor statistics of their students progress

Flubaroo – uses google docs and is “ a free tool that helps you quickly grade multiple-choice or fill-in-blank assignments.” It also “Computes average assignment score. Computes average score per question, and flags low-scoring questions. Shows you a grade distribution graph. Gives you the option to email each student their grade, and an answer key.”
