Let me introduce my favorite teaching materials website!

Blog Post #1: Teacher Resource Sharing Site Review

What I'm going to introduce to you today is.... "abcteach" website.
And here is the link.--->>> http://www.abcteach.com/

First of all, if you can click this website you'll see a lot of free printable pages for teaching, assignment, clip art and games etc. One thing that I really like this website about is even if you don't have membership, still it's beneficial and convenient for teachers. If you, however, have membership it's also good for having seasonal contents in advance by email and have even more materials. Like this..

Now, let me begin by introducing the website in earnest.


※ General Description of the Website

I've known this website from my principal that I worked for before. This website is not only good for preparing assignment, but also theme activities for younger students who struggle to concentrate for a long period. Which means it has a variety of materials in many different ways.



※ Assessment of the Quality of the Content
I assorted the quality of the content into a few lists.

   1. Is it easy to navigate?
As you can see the website, it's all sorted assortatively. Each little tabs in the website show where things are. (e.g. DIRECTORY → core subjects, popualr categories / INTERACTIVE → Promethean flipchart)

   2. In what age is suitable for this website? 
I've used this website for my kindergarten and elementary school students. But I'm sure you can use this website for middle school students, too. If you can click "DIRECTORY" and you'll see "Middle School" in "Selected Materials". There are many good reading, writing, and even thinking skills materials.

  
   3. What kind of categories does this website provide for teachers?
 It has Art, Music, Common Core, Science, Social Studies, Handwriting, Sports / P.E., ESL/Languages, Reading, Language Arts, Technology, Math, Testing(Practice), Interactive, Audio and Video, Powerpoint, ABC Activities, Fun Activities, Holidays/Seasonal, Theme Units, Research/Reports, Teaching Extras, Think Green, Learning Centers, Clip Art and Flashcards materials etc.


   5. What is the most attractive point about this website?
The most attractive point about this website is theme activities and holidays & seasonal materials. The reason why I like that part is because I can show and explain well about western culture to my students. I think language is culture. If students can be exposed to this kind of materials consistently, I'm sure it helps my students understand English better.



※ Functionality of the Website
The most beneficial thing about this website is you can create your own activities and assignments for ABC Sort, Crossword, Word Wall, Word Shape, Unscramble, Bingo, Desktags, Math, Shapebooks & Borders, Spelling, Circle & Spell, Handwriting, Missing Letter, Sudoku, Word Search etc.

<e.g.>
Click "ABCTOOLS"

Select "Crossword"

Click whatever you need to do for the page
And.. Ta-da!

You will have your own crossword for your student and you can also print it and download it for later.
