Are you considering using blended learning as a component of your classroom? This post suggests three great tools that may help you move forward on this journey.
* FrontRow provides differentiated math instruction for K- 8. It works across platforms and provides a pre-test (to place students correctly). Tutorials, videos, suggestions of students in their classroom to help are some of the many features provided. There is a free version and schools/districts may also choose to pay for access to more robust reports.
* MobyMax provides access to both ELA and Math for students in Grades K-8. There is a free version as well as a version that costs $99 per classroom (and provides additional tools) as well as a cost for a school. Students earn badges throughout this program. For more information click through to the post.
* Skoolbo also provides ELA and Math resources for students in elementary school. They state “our particular favorites are the ones below 8 years of age..” because they see the most improvement in this age group. Currently Skoolbo is providing free registration to schools in the U.S. who register prior to Dec. 31, 2014.
These are all great tools and you may find one that meets your needs. Each is aligned to the Common Core standards.
