Technology-Rick Learning This website is not necessarily a lesson plan, but it is filled with hundreds of helpful links that could be implemented into every day teaching. The links are all related to 5th Grade curriculum, and they are categorized by subject. Scholastic News, for example, is a website I use a lot with my students. I put this link in my classroom websites, as well.

Power Point History Lessons This website has several Power Point lessons, and lesson plan templates, that would be very useful when teaching history. They are all connected to the 5th Grade curriculum.

CPS Lessons We recently got the CPS Units for our classrooms. There are several different ways to incorporate their use into your lessons. This is a great website to sign up for. It lists several different lessons, in many subjects, that the Units could be used for.

Educational Games and Tools:

Sheppard Software I absolutely love this website! All of my students have this saved to their "Favorites". It has great games in math that help the students with their math facts. It also has several categories that range from K-6 curriculum.

That Quiz

This is a great tool for all areas. The teacher can create their own quizzes, or use the ones provided. Then the students take the quiz and it actually keeps an electronic grade book for you. All you have to do is sign up for FREE, and enter your class list. If you don't want to sign up, the kids can still go on and take the quizzes provided.

Pauker Pauker is a flash card based, learning application. It is user friendly and it doesn’t need to be connected to the internet to use. Once you have created your flash cards, the program gives you time to memorize each card and then it will quiz you. It uses a combination of ultra-shortterm, shortterm, and longterm memory. You can use it to learn all the things you never want to forget, like vocabulary, capitals, important dates, etc.

This would be a great tool to use in the classroom. I think flash cards are a very efficient tool to use when you have several things to memorize. I personally used flashcards from elementary school all through college. In 5th grade I teach note taking and study skills and we use flash cards several times in a year. Whether we are learning states and capitals or battles during the Revolutionary War, flash cards are always a helpful tool. I want to introduce my students to Pauker and not only use it in my classroom, but hope that it will be a tool they can take with them when they move on to middle school.
