Three Elementary Education
1. Edutopia- Many sites on elementary education do a good job of pulling together info from every
class subject or just sharing advice on how teachers can work with the education system to
provide the best learning experience to their youngsters.
Summary: This site makes a happy teacher even happier. With all the different classes
that elementary teachers have to teach throughout the day. Its very useful, when coming to find
sources. Link: http://www.edutopia.org/
2. Arkive- Arkive focuses on different educational games that empower kids to become smarter
while having fun learning the information. The content primarily focuses on science, puzzles,
animals, the environment, and conservation efforts.
Summary: When trying to decide what games or what can help the child learn about science.
You can trust this site to do what you need to. Because, not all children learn the same, so at
least Arkive can help the child learn different ways. Link: http://www.arkive.org/
3. Vocabulary Spellingcity.com- Vocabulary Spelling City.com provides many different spelling
tools, along with games, fantastic teaching resources, and videos.

can be fun to learn. You turn to this website, because of it is good on games, so the child dont
have to be bored out of their mind. What fun! Link: https://www.spellingcity.com/
Overall Summary: If I was elementary school teacher, I would be happy to have all these
sources in my classroom. Not only do we live in a technology world, but we live with diverse
group children who can not learn the same way. Not only do these sites care about the childs
welfare. You can see, that it will be fun in many ways.
Three Secondary Resources:
1. Tate Gallery Kids- website lets children view and rate existing art or develop their own personal
gallery. There are sections for film and games.

side, by making art also. Its great tool, for art teachers wanting much more for their children.

2. eChalk Algebra- Moonlander game requires kids to land a spaceship to solve problems.
Summary: Now I can vouch for kids who hate math and cant seem to focus. Ive always hated
math, since Ive been younger. But, this algebra site is fun, you calculate a spaceship to solve
problems. It will help develop ways for the child, to learn how to solve other math problems in
their school career. Link:

3. Google Earth- is a satellite imagery website that is fully interactive and is exciting to use for
adults, as well as children of any age.

when I was in elementary school. It was so much fun to use this. Not only do you learn the
Earth, but you can type any city or any country. It will take you there, without being any problem.
Not only is it like traveling, but its very futuristic. Link: https://www.google.com/earth/
Overall Summary: All the sites, I provided is very good resources for any teacher teaching

teacher wanting to teach secondary grades is use Google Earth. I promise youll love it as much
as the children do.

become such a expert with learning from these techniques. Its always good to know these
