Educational Websites

Hi all!
There are several educational websites that both students and teachers have access to online. One helpful website is Easybib.com. This website helps teach students how to formate citations for reference pages, work cited pages and bibliographies. It teaches students how to use formate citations step by step as well as helps generate them. I think this is useful for people of all ages because at times we all forget how to cite things.

Another helpful website for educational purposes is Spanishdict.com. This website is a great spanish dictionary online that also helps translate phrases from english to spanish or spanish to english. This site can be helpful to those trying to learn a new language or students who are majoring or minoring in spanish. Teachers can tell there students to use this instead of buying a dictionary which can help the students save money.

Lastly, A website good for certain university students, such as students at the University of Arizona, is a website called Notehall.com. This website allows students to upload notes from class as well as study guides for tests so that if someone missed something in class it gives them the opportunity to get the information they need.

There are so many educational websites and we need to be aware of them and put them to good use! I hope this helps some of you!
Next, a great website that can be used as an educational tool is abcteach.com. You must have a membership to this website, but for teachers and parents I think this website is perfect! It has several activities and website links to different learning activities for children.

Another helpful website for teachers to demonstrate things to their students is through a website called Teachertube.com. This website is similar to youtube but has filtered videos that are appropriate to show students. Some examples of videos that you can find on this website can pertain to our government, such as presidential speeches, or school house rock videos which teach students different lessons.
