TechnoLadies+-+Student+Resources

=Student Resources = Student resources are those that students are easily and safely able to access for themselves to build on prior knowledge whilst integrating topics across curriculum areas. The resources that we have added below are all found online on safe, kid-friendly websites that ensure students are taken to an online topic area and are unable to 'accidentally' come across anything they are not meant to! If your school has online safety precautions, this will not affect the websites below as they are trusted, educational websites. As mentioned in the Teacher Resources, there are also a great number of books available in school libraries and community libraries that could be added to any student resources if the teacher so desires. We have chosen online resources as our unit requires us to integrate technology into the classroom.

=Websites for Target Student Group =

[|BrainPop.com] This is a fantastic science website for students! Allow them about 10 minutes to browse this interactive, bright and colourful website and they’ll be rushing to tell you facts you’ve never heard of! Great website for use on the Smartboard as well. (BrainPOP, 1999 - 2012)

[|Washington University Education] Although this website looks complicated, there is a range of activities that students can simply click onto to find out more about any particular sense. The website is not as colourful as most others, but definitely holds enough information. (Chudler, 1996 - 2011)

[|CLN.org] This is another great webpage full of information for both teachers and students. Students simply click on a topic and it takes them to activities and information. (Network, N/A)

[|PBS.org] This is a game that is similar to the word game ‘Hangman’ but requires students to use their ears to listenfor sounds as clues. Fantastic if students are working on the sense of hearing. (Foundation, 2011)

[|KidsHealth.org] This site holds the key to fun, interactive and educational games for students online. (Foundation T. N., 1995 - 2012)

[|Kidcyber.com] This is a fantastic online resource that is colourful and easy to read. This allows students to access it on their own and be able to read for themselves about the five senses, what they are and how they are used. (Thomas, 2001)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">[|Vision3d.com] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This website would be great for upper school students wanting to investigate vision as a sense. There are multiple links to 3D visual images and the importance of training the eyes using 3D images/puzzles. (Cooper, 1995 - 2012)
