When looking online, I located a very useful teaching website. The website: http://school.discovery.com/teachingtools/teachingtools.html has many great teaching tools that would benefit the classroom and my future plans as a teacher. The website is through the discovery channel. It is not limited to one field or subject area of teaching.
It contains items from television, lesson plans, teacher’s stores, teaching tools, homework guidance, curriculum ideas, custom classrooms, and a guide to teaching. It also contains useful homework and project ideas such as puzzle-maker, clip art gallery, science fair project, study ideas, and “brain boosters.” The website is a good way to get a teacher started and help him or her throughout the year forming worksheets and activities. It also has the ability to provide quizzes for students.
A useful teaching tool that I have not seen yet but I think would be useful is an online ability test for students that automatically advances them to a more difficult level once they have completed one test. The test could be taken at any computer and the results could be sent directly to the teacher via his or her school email. The teacher could then use the results to decide the students’ level and capability and be able to form the curriculum and teaching method around this knowledge.
