Kidspiration is a creative, visual learning program that incorporates the use of pictures and icons to enhance students' learning in various subjects like reading, writing, science, social studies, and mathematics. This program would be excellent for various projects. I love how user-friendly it is and how educational the templates they provide are. I was able to easily create a few fun documents of my own and export it as a .jpg image in order to send it via email or publish it on the web. Kidspiration documents can also be saved as Word documents for easy saving or printing purposes.
-Prewriting or brainstorming
-Story Webs
-Timelines
-Venn Diagrams
-Graphs and Charts
-Grouping and Classifying
Chalksite
Chalksite is an online grade book program that provides its services free for the teacher and first 5 student accounts. I thought it was relatively easy to use and the way in which it was organized in different tabs was extremely efficient. We were able to practice adding students, assignments, and grades and it was all straightforward. Chalksite also provides a website through the grade book account which I think is a nice option to have and makes it so teachers don't have to create another account through another company to host their class website.
