Interactive Websites

presented by Irene Schlarb

"What websites will get my students actively involved with learning rather than just reading off the screen?"

 

"Where can I find simulations and other interactive learning experiences?"

 

"I need to address individual differences. Some students need more practice than others. Where can I find interactive, practice activities for students?"

 

All the above quotes are taken from Annette Lamb's "Teacher Tap" web page and are used by permission.

I also recommend her eduScapes website.
