Kan-ed Reflection

I visited the Kan-Ed Website and found some really interesting sites. At the Kan-ed Website, the main page is a list of a TON of different websites full of teacher resources.

I really like the Kansas Education Resource Center (KERC) website. There are so many things to look into at this site. you can go into a specific subject or the grade level. You can also upload a lesson plan you found successful. If you go into a specific subject, you can then choose your grade level. It then gives you the standards. It is so useful and everything is at the touch of a button.

It also has a Back to School page, where you can find intriguing lessons, activities, and so much more. Here, again, you can choose a specific grade level. It has a page that can help you build a classroom community and shows you how to stay connected using technology. I strongly suggest this website. There are so many options and it's all on one website right there for you to use.

Nettrekker is another great site on the Kan-ed website. On this website, there are several subtopics underneath each subject. This makes it that much easier to find a specific lesson. You don't have to go to the broad Math title; here you can go to a specific lesson you are going over immediately. You can also use the Search option.

Say you are doing a lesson in Geometry. You could click on that button. It opens to a page with another list of topics even more specific such as "Plane Figures". It also tells you how many pages it has under that topic. This one has 364!! Again, it gives you a list of topics within "Plane Figures" such as Dimensions which has 77 options and this goes on and on. It's a bit of a process if you don't know what you're looking for, but overall so much easier because you don't have to go through a list of items that have nothing to do with the lesson you are trying to plan.

Overall, I find Kan-ed EXTREMELY useful and plan to use it all the time now and in my future classroom. These websites that I mentioned are only two of MANY websites all located on the Kan-ed website! I strongly suggest this website to other educators!
