[Ltsp-discuss] Educational Resources

[Joseph Bishay]

Good day everyone,

I hope you are all doing very well today.

Next week I'll be doing an orientation for the teachers in our school and
I'd like to wow them. Every year a couple of teachers will comment that
'such-and-such' a piece of software is ideally what they need, but it is
Windows-only and won't run on our system; why do we need to use this, etc,
etc.

Could you share names of K-8 or K-12 educational pieces of software and
websites that you and your teachers use? I'll try to put them together into
one list that could be used as a reference.

Thanks!
Joseph

Ah fantastic! This is a topic I am very interested in! Here are a few of the most obvious examples of browser-based resources I can think of...

www.khanacademy.org - lesson videos and well developed exercises with badges etc for a wide range of subjects

scratch.mit.edu and appinventor.mit.edu - scratch to learn basic programming skills with lego-like bricks, and then build real android apps with appinventor

Are there are particular things you are looking for? ...I will look through my notes to see what else I can find. Otherwise, I am super interested in seeing what else people come up with!
