A Couple Websites Worth A Closer Look

A Couple Websites Worth A Closer Look

I am always looking for new and better educational websites to incorporate into my class. 
Here are two ( one paid, one free) that I find to be effective and user friendly.

1. IXL   www.ixl.com 

• IXL is a subscription website. Our school is looking at purchasing for grades all next year. 
• On this site you set up individual student accounts. 
  

• This allows each student to practice approximately 250 Math skills and 150 Language Arts skills. 
  

• Each standard has 100 practice questions. 
  

• The teacher has access to multiple reports that show mastery, usage, areas of difficulty and time spent on each standard. 
  
• The students receive badges when they have mastered a standard.
  
  
  

2.  Quill   www.quill.org   

  

• Quill is a daily language practice site. 
• You sign up for an account (free) and create a class. 
• Then you can assign a short passage to students. 
• Each lesson addresses a specific CCS by grade level. 
• Each lesson contains errors that the students must fix. 
• The passage is then corrected and students receive their score.
