Professional Development Plan

"Learning was meant to be both fun, and free. Not boring, and definitely not expensive."

He could not be more on point. http://www.kidsknowit.com/ is a really interactive and great way to get children interested in education. This website is packed with fun and exciting games, labs, and websites. They have all the core subjects while adding interesting topics children will love. They have chemistry, geology, memory, spelling, math, history, geography, biology, and other core educational subjects. They also have thematic websites, labs, and games like dinosaurs, outerspace, human body. For example they have math, but that is just a very broad subject. They have scramble math games, interactive math games, labs they can learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, telling time, mixed skills, geometry, and algebra. It have games and labs for all school ages. It is a great place for children to explore. They even have a lab were they can build a dinosaur. How cool is that. They even have FREE online classes for different subject such as astronomy. They give you interactive lesson with packets that should be completed by the children. After the specified packets are completed for a certain subject, they then have a final project. Then the child gets a certificate for completing that certain online class. They have FREE educational movies that give them an insightful way to learn about things like eclipses, planets, acids & bases, absolute values, hurricanes, and so much more. They have human labs were they learn about body parts, and their functions. This is an amazing website, I recommend it to anyone!
I would definitely use this in my classroom and with my daughter.
