The Online Learning Experience Guidelines that the Michigan Department of Education created is a very helpful document for all teachers, not just in Michigan. Even though some of the resources were specific to Michigan, as a teacher in Georgia, I took away many interesting ideas for developing online experiences for my math students. Some of these resources include:
Discovery Education – This site includes math worksheets and math vocabulary worksheets as well as step-by-step webMATH tutorial videos.
Best Webquests – I came across this site during our webquest session and it included a few useful webquests for high school math students on real-world topics.
Wikispaces – This site allows for collaboration, projects, discussions, and questions and can be used for many different content areas. I didn’t find Front Page Wiki to be as user friendly as Wikispaces, but it did give some advice as to creating a wiki.
Educational Podcast Network – This site hosts many different types of video podcasts, such as math tutorials.
Moodle – This learning management site could be used more so with online classes, but I could use this as the online portion to my math class.
Noodle Tools – This site helps educators with online learning, collaboration, and ethics for research. It related more to literacy, reading, and writing courses, but could be useful in other content areas.
Electronic Portfolios – I saw this as a neat tool for elementary teachers to use to collect/gather all work from the year to show parents. I think it would be beneficial for high school students to do this as well to make a compilation of their work and accomplishments.
Adobe Breeze – I’ve had some experience with this during my online classes, but thought it would be convenient to use web conferencing for office hours with my high school students.
