Here are some useful sites that I use or have used in the past. Feel free to share these with others!

Class Dojo This is a site that I use for my classroom management. I was hesitant to use it at first, but I cannot run my class with out it! [|Here is a tutorial on how I use it in my class.]

Learnings Earnings: This is a site that we have used in the past. This site lets the teacher give the students "learning bucks" in which the student can redeem for various prizes. You may want to consider using Class Dojo along with Learnings Earnings. For instance, 10 dojo points would be equivalent to $100 learning bucks.

Dance Mat Typing: I have my students work on this when they are done with their lessons. It is a fun and interactive way of teaching students how to type.

ABCYa! This is a website geared for elementary aged students. It has various educational activities. My kids love it!

BrainPop This particular site is used for 4th grade and higher. There are a lot of freebees on it, but many of the videos and games require a subscription.

Wikispaces This is the site that I am using right now to list all of these sites. You can add members to a certain wiki so that they can collaborate on projects together. You can also set them to private so that the outside public cannot see them. We use a Wiki for our ITS meetings.

Starfall This is a wonderful site for 1st and 2nd grade students. It has excellent reading activities for kids.
