HippoCampus

Anonymous — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 12:00:00 GMT

HippoCampus is a great tool to use in and out of the math classroom. Anyone can create a free account and begin to find material from Khan Academy and NROC. You can mix your own "playlists" using content across different websites. You can track media that is trending this week for your subject areas.

The goal of HippoCampus is to provide high-quality, multimedia content on general education subjects to high school and college students free of charge. It is an open education resource to provide quality education to everyone. You can find the link to HippoCampus here: http://www.hippocampus.org/

They have a great variety of different tools, videos, games, and activities the students can do in and out of the classroom. A great activity I found uses factoring and tells you if you chose the correct factorization of a particular polynomial, found here: http://www.hippocampus.org/Algebra%20&%20Geometry?loadLeftClass=CourseCombination&loadLeftId=12&loadTopicId=7762

Included is the image used as a game piece, the rules of the game, and a script sheet.

I'll embed it here, and if you still have problems, just post a comment and I'll try to help. One thing worth mentioning, however, is that Classtools host the games in their own server. You cannot

San Diego Zoo Kids is an amazingly beautiful interactive site for kids. They can watch videos, play games, access animal webcams, learn about zoo jobs, and even get instructions for a craft or two. If your class is studying animals I highly recommend this site.

I have added this to my Amazing Animals for Kids Binder.

Games For Education - It works!

I set this game up for it to be used to demonstrate that games such as these are useful methods for teaching something you have no idea of. In this case, it's a point-and-click game on parts of the face, and the language I have chosen is Indonesian. Try it! If you're looking for parts of the face/body in English look here: http://acliltoclimb.blogspot.com/2010/04/
