Welcome to my page on educational links.  This page contains some of my favorite and "go to" websites.  My links are divided into two sections, one dedicated for students, the other for teachers.  Several of these websites, however, are student and teacher resources.

BrainPop

A large collection of educational videos on a variety of subjects.  I like how the videos are easy for students to understand and the interactive activities for students.  Students can create their own videos and submit them to their teacher.

I use this online assessment tool four to five times a year with students.  It's large bank of pre-created questions are aligned to my state teaching standards.  Teachers can also create their own multiple choice or written response questions.

White Pine Middle School

This is where my students go to primarily view their grades.  Families may also login to view their child's grades.  I also use Skyward to message students and families throughout the school year.
