For Students and Staff
- Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educator's
- Starfall - learn to read with phonics
- Lingro - Allows you to enter a web address (URL) and make all of the words on that page clickable for definitions and translation. It allows the user to click on any word on the page for a definition. This site is great. Again, I just tried it with today’s Post. .
- Google Scribe - For kids that have typing problems – word prediction. So cool! It’s like the special word prediction software we have on the school network, but it’s FREE. Consider this for students who need this form of assistance to do their work at home.
