Writing Fun - A Jenny Eather site - Excellent

Jenny Eather has developed this wonderful site to help students with their writing. Most people know of Jenny Eather for her work with Rainforest Math, which see subsequently sold to Mathletics and it is no longer a free site. Sigh. In this resource, Eather provides interactive instruction in how to write: Information Reports Procedure Recount events Explanation Persuasion Discussion.Debate Narrative Response Description Poetry and more Jenny includes Kindergarten to Grade 6 examples, as well as interactive writing and downloadables. An Excellent Resource. http://www.writingfun.com/

Khan Academy: Free "how to" videos - Math, Physics, Chemistry...

Khan Academy is a not-for-profit site that lists hundreds of videos on various topics in math and science. The video topics range from Basic Math to Calculus, from Trigonometry to Statistics to Physics. This is one more resource that can help you help your children/students. http://www.khanacademy.org/ As these are YouTube videos, I recommend using Quietube to eliminate the comments and links to other videos. Quietube can create a URL that you can then use with children to access the videos without HR (Hyperlink Risk) You can also go to our blog post on the Life Online Guiding Principles site to read the post on " YouTube announces Safety Mode for parents ". http://sites.google.com/site/childrenslifeonline/

3-Minute Video on Turning YouTube Safety Mode "On"

Common Sense Media keeps making my life easier and easier.

CSM now has a 3-minute video on how to turn the Safety Mode on for YouTube and how to lock it on for specific browsers. The video also includes some common sense tips. Click here to view the video.
