Sumdog.com - A FREE application for students to practice math skills through gaming. It is free for teachers to sign up multiple accounts for students, and students can compete as classes and as a school against others from Missouri and around the world. It also tracks student progress through multiple skills. Students earn points ("coins") and gain ranks by playing games individually and against students from around the world. They can also purchase clothes, accessories, and other games with the coins earned! Check it out!

Wiki Additions Brainpop.com - A website with interactive features (great for interactive SmartBoards!) for all subjects: Science, Social Studies, English, Math, Engineering and Tech, Health, and Arts and Music. Although a primarily paid site, there are free sections each month-- []. Luckily my school just recently subscribed to BrainPop and BrainPop Jr. (K-3), and I am now able to browse through it. They also have a Spanish Version, and a Brain Pop for ESL students!

funbrain.com, specifically: [] - This FREE website, focused on reading/word games and math/number games, gives a multiple gaming opportunities that are educational. (There is even an online-copy of the popular //Diary of a Wimpy Kid// book number 1). The link above is to the Math Arcade with games from grades 1-8+. No sign-in is needed, but a password is if you are a returning customer. There are other games that are just "for fun," too.

[] - although not as "fun" as the above sites, this is a great quiz site for K-12. It quizzes on math, geography, science, and vocabulary. Very basic, but comprehensive.

True Flix [] - Because you can't access without a username/password, below are some screenshots for a free trial I am using with my students with True Flix. It is a scholastic database/program (about $500/year) that is from scholastic. Basically, it has 61 --will be 71 later this year-- "titles." Each title has a complete e-book that can be read to struggling students (with words highlighted), an introductory video, other resources on that topic (encylopedia articles, etc.), great reviewed websites, lesson plan, quiz, and more. The subjects range from science and social studies, but each can be used in a language class (see below). Each of those subjects have multiple "books" attached. I have the trial until the end of the month, so if anyone would like to take a look at it, please contact me personally for access.
