Web Tools of the Week:
CK-12 - A great site for free digital textbooks that are aligned to state standards.I searched science middle school and I found a great book with videos and images of what students were studying. I am using that chapter this week with my students.
PaperRater - Free site that grades and checks for grammar, spelling, proof reading, and plagiarism for specific written work, for example: lab reports, expository, persuasive, book reports, movie reviews. . . Simply copy and paste your written work, select the education level of your student's paper and then the TYPE of paper to be analyzed. It will display the grammar, spelling, word choice and it will assign a grade for high school level and above. Furthermore, it gives comments and advice on how to write the paper better.
