Today I have been spending my afternoon looking into Desmos. Desmos is a site that hosts a math curriculum for grades 6-8. There are MANY free components, and I have been looking at it to possibly use as a supplement for some of the things are math teachers are having a hard time "writing." When they try and create things, writing in math is super tough, and Desmos might have some things to offer us.
Well, as I was searching - I came across CK-12 and Khan again. These sites are not new to us, but WOW WOW WOW! It has been a while since I have been on them and they are outstanding!!
CK-12: When I first used CK-12, it was for content that I used to create iBooks. All of their materials are free use, and always has been, but the things they are doing and creating now is so much more than just science, social studies and math. It is UNREAL - take a look!
Khan Academy: This is also a site that is not new to any educators. However, the depth that it has gone to is again, something to look into. This site initially started as a math "tutor" site and has now become a site for all content at all grade levels.
It just goes to show that you DO need to back track and look again at sites from before. Technology is always evolving and changing, and these two sites are proof of that!
Happy Thursday, Everyone! Mother nature dumped five more inches on us here in Minnesota, so that's no fun and will once again cause for slushy and wet roads and yards - oh well - at least the sun is out!
Take care and be safe,
Mrs. I:)
