Resources for Subjects: Tech Resources to Check out

I know this post won't cover every subject, but I'm hoping that it will have a little something for everyone. You may even find some use in some resources geared towards other subjects. Let me know if there is something specific that you need in your classroom. I'd love to work with you and help in any way I can.

Across Curriculum
  • Peer Grade - Peer feedback on assignments has never been easier. Collect work and redistribute to students for peer review. Complete with backend data for the teacher to analyze peer feedback
  • mysimpleslideshow - Create a script for a story and let the resource find images automatically that flow with your script. Narrate the story or have a computer-generated voice do it for you
  • ELink - Curate any type of resource into a slick looking website or embed-able resource for students. Students could also use it to collect resources on a given topic 
ELA
  • CommonLit - Library of informational texts with questions to gauge understanding and media to facilitate deeper learning
SAT/ACT Prep
  • PrepFactory: Helps students identify what types of questions will be asked on the SAT & ACT using interactive and engaging activities and games
Social Science
  • Hexagonal Thinking Approach - The idea with this tool/activity is to get students to categorize events and concepts related to an overall subject (Think "Causes of WWII" as the subject and political events like the "Munich Agreement" could be an event), you can push your students to identify links between events, and also establish priority over other events. An excellent explanation of this process can be found here. Creating Visual Hexagons is a visual twist on this concept as well that can be done in Google Drawing or Slides

Maths
  • g(Math) add on - easily create graphs, equations and other needs for the Maths class with this add on for Docs & Sheets. g(Math) also has a Google Forms add-on for your formative assessment needs! See the gif below to get yours

Science/STEM
  • The Concord Consortium - a collection of classroom activities and simulations that can be filtered by grade level and subject
Physical Education
Performing Arts
  • Soundtrap - Originally created for music industry artists, this web-based music producing service is user-friendly and allows students in many different performing arts get to use their voice to produce their works
Visual Arts

  • Google Arts & Culture - a repository of artistic work from around the world spanning thousands of years of history
