Website: Education.com
Education.com
is one of the many resourceful websites. It is a source of digital resources,
tools and other learning materials created by experts in education. Resources
from Education.com can be beneficial toward any type of teaching as well as
support educational standards such as the Common Core State Standards. Users
may create a free account to access the resources. However, there are some
limitations to free accounts as opposed to Premium accounts. Users who opt for
Premium accounts gain access to assessments, progress trackers, ability to
assign assignments, as well as an unlimited amount of downloadable material.
There
are currently over 23 million users who use Education.com for what they have to
offer. The website is described as the “#1 Educational Site for Pre-K through
5.” Within this site, users can find Guided Lessons, Lesson Plans, Worksheets
and Workbooks, Hands-on Activities, Interactive Stories and Games, and so much
more. Once again, resources found on Education.com support the Common Core
Standards and users can simply search for a specific standard to align with
their lessons.
My
fifth grade team has actually been using Education.com for some time now and I
believe it was a worthwhile investment. We all find the aligned resources
extremely beneficial to supporting our literacy and math lessons. In addition
to worksheets, workbooks, and lesson plans, Education.com also offers
interactive stories and games.
Interactive
stories are great for keeping students engaged and attentive during lessons. In
addition, Interactive games are perfect for making learning fun while promoting
literacy. Under the ‘Games’ category, there is a section on Reading and Writing
Topics and users may find games related to Early Literacy Concepts, High
Frequency Words, Letter Knowledge, Letter Sound Relationships, Word Structure,
Word Meaning, as well as games on Reading Fiction and Non-Fiction.
Once again,
Education.com is a one-stop source for a plethora of online resources. Users
may simply sign up for an account to gain access to the resources. Users who
desire to gain more features have the option to upgrade to a premium account at
varying payment plans. However, having a free account is good enough for regular
use in the classroom.
