Outwhiz

Outwhiz is a free site/app (iOS, Android) for students K-8th learning Math or English.  This fun app has over 200+ exercises aligned to common core standards.  Best of all, Outwhiz tracks student projects and generates detailed reports for parents and educators.  Also, this is a great app for self paced learning and offers lots of motivations for students such as digital and "real" rewards, badges, and more.

Rewordify

Rewordify is a site I just found out about from an email from the creator and former educator Neil Goldman.  This is an excellent site that not only helps English language learners it helps students who are having trouble w/ hard sentences or paraphrasing sentences.  The way this works is simply by copying/pasting text or URL and click "Rewordify".  Also, there is a neat "smart highlighting" tool which brings up definitions of words as you highlight as well as a fantastic tutorial on how teachers can use Rewordify.

Literacy Shed

The Literacy Shed is a fantastic blog that I just found out about from iLearn Technology.  This is a great site for ideas all related to literacy.  The sites is organized by genre or "shed".  Each shed has lots of different teaching ideas such as: writing prompts, vivid images, videos, and more.  Also, this is a great place to find lesson plans for English/LA teachers.

I Write Like

I Write Like is one of my favorite new sites that I had the pleasure of learning about from Alexandra Fransisco. This is a site where people copy/paste in one of their writings and then click on an analyze button. The site then analyzes their work and matches it up w/ a famous author. You can even embed the results into a site/blog!!

Below is who I was matched up w/ from one of my blog posts, and to think I was hoping for J. R.R Tolkien. ;-)

Easy Define

Easy Define is one my new favorite Web 2.0 sites! It is ideal for Language Arts/ESL/ELL teachers who want a fast and simple dictionary. However, it is much much more then that.

ED is a resource that takes a list of words that a user types in and generates the definitions, synonyms, and "how to's" about each word. Best of all this is done all in one place by a series of tags.

Below is my example of using ED...
