WEO- Educational Software

Oh where, where do I begin. This little gem was discovered just yesterday and I can't help but share it with co-workers... weo.io is a web-based educational software. Its similar to pinterest in the fact you can search for already created activities. I have already found some common core activities. The special thing about WEO is the fact that depending on what you might assign your students, it can grade directly for you. This is just a sample of a Math quiz I created for my 4th graders... From there I get some instant feedback that goes into my grade book. Obviously I cut out student names, but this gives you an idea. From the student side, students can access their individual grades as well. You can post videos, documents, etc. It's definitely something that is worth checking out. During my initial discovery of the software I did make a suggestion about allowing a teacher to automatically put students in additional classes, as it is now... You can add a class and then students need to use a "student code" to join an additional class. Hopefully they add that feature soon. I believe this program is really new so I am excited to see it expand and grow...

I'm back...

Well, after neglecting this blog for gosh... way too long I am going to add a piece of information that I think other teachers might LOVE... I love discovering ways to make my life easier when it comes to teaching and also finding ways that excite my students. I think this is a great forum to share cool websites and apps with any interested teachers! Enjoy!

Personal Dictionary





Ever since I began teaching, I always ran my writing workshop where students can use a personal dictionary. The original personal dictionary I used was missing many important words, it was an awkward to read form. I researched frequently misspelled words and added some important vocabulary words from various subject areas... My students love using it and there are spaces for them to include words that are important to them.
