I would like to review a collection of sites created and maintained by the BBC.
You can enter the BBC - School site by clicking HERE. Go ahead. Click. Look around and return when you are ready to finish this review!

Welcome Back!
I hope that you enjoyed your look around. I love how this site has everything broken down by elementary and high school. The "Bite Size" games are wonderful. They are short, fun, and teach a targeted skill. Another great part is that you can copy and paste the HTML code they give at the bottom of the screen and add it to the amazing wiki you created (See post on wikispaces.com). (For an example of what that would look like click HERE and visit my class wiki)
The helps here are really endless and useful. You won't find ANY place in the USA that has created such an extensive FREE on-line resource for students, parents, and teachers.
Be sure to click on the "Teachers" section on the BBC-Schools page I linked to above. While you CAN NOT watch the amazing collection of video shorts on varied subjects (unless you live in the uk), the Key Stage resources I looked at were fantastic. I am SO thankful that the BBC isn't limiting the use of the entire site. So many children around the world are benefiting from their generosity.
Take the time to look around and play around. This is ONE amazing resource at your finger tips!
I give it a two thumbs up!
If you have a site/resource you would like me to review. Leave it in a comment and I will check it out! Also, please share this BLOG with everyone you know (teachers AND parents). It's a great resource.

Hi John, just ran into your site through your email to the district. I also use the BBC site. Great for all those metric lessons. I agree that they do a great service for their teachers. Wish someone in the USA would do the same. Keep up the good work. I am adding your site to my delicious bookmarks.
