Online Resources for Teachers

This is a space to share some of the best online resources for teaching and learning.  We’ve shared a few to start, and we’ll continue to update and add as we find new sites and apps for you.  Please feel free to let us know if you find a great online tool that you think we should share on this page.  Also let us know if there’s a type of resource that you would like us to seek out and post.  Thanks! ~Ms. Binder and Ms. Megivern

E-books and Audio books:

Terrific resource for accessing thousands of  e-books and audiobooks for your students.  The audiobooks are well-produced (not just a computer voice), and students are able to turn the pages and read along with the audio.  Teachers can open a free account and can create up to 36 profiles for students.

Classroom Activity Builder:

Create Jeopardy-style game boards for your classroom.  The free version allows you to build basic boards, and search and upload boards from other flipquiz users.

Book Sharing:

A kid-safe platform for sharing, discussing, and tracking books…basically a Goodreads or Shelfari for younger students.
