Sweet Search 2 Day

I found another great article to share with you from Free Technology 4 Teachers on a great website to use in the classroom or at home with your kids:

Sweet Search 2 Day!

Sweet Search 2 Day is a one page stop for good, up to date, web content that can be used in Science, History, and Language Arts classes. I bookmarked it for my son so that he can find it easily the next time he has homework.

Power to Learn - Hidden Assets (and Some in Plain View)

Here is a great article I found and wanted to share with you as school begins: Power to Learn - Hidden Assets (and Some in Plain View)

Google Safe Search

Thank you Google for helping make our lives a little easier at keeping our kids safe on the internet. Watch the video below to find out how.



For more information, visit the Google Family Safety Center. Don't forget to lock safe search on each user profile in you household.

And remember: the internet is a great place to play and learn together!

First Day of School, First Day of School!

Wahoo, I love the start of a new school year (it's probably the teacher in me). Our boys are all at new schools this year (due to our move back to Kent) and have a lot of new faces to get to know.

Our youngest two are at the same elementary school our oldest boy went to for 1st through 3rd grade, so for me, I already know the most of the staff, which is great.

Our oldest is now in 8th grade and at a new middle school, so I'll need to get to know the teachers and staff along with him.

I think it is important as a parent to be involved with our kids' education and work with the teachers in providing the best possible learning experiences for them.

Now that we are in a routine, I look forward to blogging again about internet safety and family fun websites.

Remember, the internet is a great place to learn from and have fun on, but it's even better when we explore it together.
