All rise. I declare that the Civics based games from “Law Focused Education” are top notch.
 #sschat #constitution
Pretty neat collection of civics/law related games.
Pirates of the Preamble and the Constitution Relay Game are fun ways to reinforce Constitution knowledge.


I also really liked the “Objection your Honor” game where students are given scenarios and must decide if questions are objectionable or not. They must also choose the reason why. 

Lesson plans, printables, are also available for teachers.
*If you are from Texas you’re in luck because they also feature a few games just for you.

FANTABULOUS!!! Content Trailers
#elemchat #spedchat #4thchat #5thchat #1stchat #scichat  #sscghat
Hook your students with these! Amazing collection of “Content Trailers” for a variety of grades and subjects. Specials will love these too!
Content Trailers are “ short, 2- to 3-minute, media-rich experiences from which a point of inquiry can begin.  Providing students with the images and sounds that can be attached to the textual information that they will be exploring can provide a profound shift in the way learning is engaged. Content Trailers can be one tool to help the process of inquiry begin.”
Think of them as short (spectacular) videos to introduce a subject.
I watched a few and was extremely impressed. The quality of the trailers was superb. Music was varied and Images were top notch. Fantastic tools to hook students into lessons.
Trailers are organized by Grade (K-12), as well as the subjects listed below.
 
I checked out the one for U.S. Presidents and was shocked to see a content trailer for every single president.
So of course I added it to  U.S. Presidents for Kids
So I moved on to the poetry section and added that one to  Kool Kids Write Poetry.
Places Around the World is now included in  Countries for Kids.
I don’t mean to gush but “Content Trailers” are AWESOME!  I have never seen a collection like this. Created by WBR Technology Dept.

My   U.S. Presidents for Kids is jam packed! Great resource for President’s Day.

#sschat #presidentsday

I just added The White House Historical Association featuring interactive “tours”.

Very similar to museum audio tours with a little twist. Extremely nice resource! I found the “Bird Watching Expedition” delightful.
