XtraMath

I am still checking out this site.  It has online math problems for K-12.  It does take some preparation by the teacher to setup a classroom with names.  It starts off by giving a pre-assessment test to place the child.  That is as far as I got.  I'm taking the test to see where it places me as a 6th grader then I will see how and what the problems look like.  It sent me (the teacher) an email stating my progress (the student).  By the way, it's free.

TED ED YouTube Channel

The nonprofit group called TED, known for streaming 18-minute video lectures about big ideas, today opened a new YouTube channel designed for teachers and professors, with videos that are even shorter.  A new site, which will launch in early April 2012, will feature these new TED-Ed Originals as well as some powerful new learning tools, but for now here is the YouTube version.  Thanks Michelle.  And yes, "there is an app for that".

Apps in Education

One of the hardest thing with using the iPad in the classroom is finding the time to go through all of the apps in the iTunes Store listed under the education banner. This site has started to list some of the apps they've found under each of the Key Learning Areas. (Thanks Craig for the info.)
