Help Teaching
Help Teaching is a website where teachers can create printables for their classroom. The free version will allow you to make a test or quiz of up to 10 questions. There is content for all subjects and all grades on this site.
We Video – Online Video Editor
We Video is a free online video editor. To access it for free, there are a couple of limitations. The application will limit videos to 5:00 in length, which generally speaking is more than enough for any class project. If needed, a student could separate their video into parts and submit it in segments for grading.
The free We Video also limits users to 1GB of storage.
Finally, We Video will put a watermark on videos that were created using their free utility, but the brain tunes that out quickly.
Free inspirational Movie Clips
Did you know there are online resources out there that offer just the movie moments you may be looking to use in your classroom? Clips you may not have known about, clips you may have forgotten about, or other just plain good uses for movie clips. Wing Clips is one such site. Though it appears that its backbone is through a religious organization, there are still many resources to consider.
Another site is ClipShout. This site is only free for 14 days, but also contains a large library of potentially useful movie clips for teachers.
Free Math, LA, Science Resource
The CK-12 Foundation is a California-based non-profit organization whose stated mission is to reduce the cost of, and increase access to, K-12 education in the United States and abroad. CK-12 provides free and customizable K-12 open educational resources aligned to state curriculum standards. The resource they have assembled online is phenomenal.
Their service comes up anytime one googles “online textbook”, and as such, teachers are likely to find some excellent content to overhaul or extend exsiting assignments and textbooks already being used.
Jeopardy Made Easy
I searched high and low last year for a jeopardy game to use in my French Classes. I ended up paying for one, and it was pretty “meh”, but it was the best thing I could find.
This morning, while searching for a different classroom utility, I found FLIPQUIZ. An online Jeopardy simulation. While I admit, I’ve not used it in a classroom, I’d have been all about giving it a try in my classroom last year.
If you do use this one, I’d love feedback by email as to how it went, and any tips you might have for using it!
