=Internet 4 the Classroom= My personal favorite! This is a great site that links to numerous online games from basic phonics and counting, to middle school reading and writing skills. Best of all, it also has lessons on how to use several popular applications on your computer. I go right to the Grade Level Help link to find games for my students based on the skill I'm teaching. []

= Fun 4 the Brain = Includes skills for all subjects. As you do better, each game graduates you to harder levels. Great for practicing math facts. If you're struggling with a particular number, you can set the game to just practice facts using that number. It also includes science, English, and printables. Very easy to navigate and very safe to leave the students on. []

**Mr. Nussbaum** This webside has a ton of games in all subjects. There's a premium membership that I haven't looked into because every game I clicked on was free. Good practice when looking for speed for your math facts. Great site developed by an inspiring teacher. @http://www.mrnussbaum.com/

What a site this is for the early reader! It teaches letter recognition and sound. It also allows you to practice reading skills with interactive books that sound words out. []

=Math Playground= This site will link you to games, tools, manipulatives, a worksheet creator. Best of all, it has a multiplication facts game. []

=ToonDoo= Not a great artist? You do not need to be! This site is a fun way to create your own comic strip. It is a fun way for teachers to check writing, grammar, punctuation, and spelling. []

= = = Multiplication Games = This site is a wonderful resource that allows children to practice multiplication facts. Students can choose from a variety of different games to practice a specific multiplication family or may choose to practice all multiplication facts through 12. It ranges from flashcards to levels and even allowing various students to log onto different computers and challenge one another through certain games in a race using math facts. There are classroom, interactive, electronic, and computer games all found on this site.It is a favorite with children and can be used interactively on the Smart Board.

If you are teaching your students about global awareness and real world scenarios and struggles that other countries deal with, you won’t want to miss this site! Freerice.com is an awesome resource that allows children to pick from a variety of subjects to learn anything from other languages, to vocabulary practice, basic math facts, multiplication facts, chemistry, geography, or even humanities.
