Image Hotspot Generator

From our friends at Classtools.net.  If you would like to annotate a picture so that you can click on a discription this is the place to go.  You might want to annotate a diagram for science class or a picture for history class with names etc.  If you click on the red dots on the  picture of my kids taken on their Santa visit in 2012 you will see a picture that I annotated.  To see the website click here.  An alternative to this is Thinglink and Pic-Collage.  I posted about this in 2016 and you can see this by clicking here.

Freckle - A Differentiated Platform for Learning

According to their website, "Freckle empowers teachers to differentiate instruction across Math, ELA, Social Studies and Science.  Students automatically work on the Math, ELA, Social Studies and Science lessons that are perfect for them. That way, they are always engaged and challenged, never facing material that is too difficult or easy for them."  To see the website, click here.

Roll Some Dice

If you would like to randomly roll say 3 20 sided dice for some reason there are many websites that will do this for you but I just found out you can do this on Google very easily.  I wanted 3 d 20s so see below:

If you want just one then type in d20 in the search box.  As you see you can add, for example, a 4 sided die also.  If you click on any of the die on the screen that die will disappear.  I am not going to give you a link to google as that would be like giving you the phone number for 911.

Evaluating Online Resources

According to their website, "Students are confused about how to evaluate online information. We all are. The COR curriculum provides free lessons and assessments that help you teach students to evaluate online information that affects them, their communities, and the world."  To see the website click here.
