Technology Review #4





            Today I am reviewing a site that is aimed primarily for teachers.  Do you ever need an award to print off for a hard-working student? How about a graphic organizer for a specific skill?  Ever need just the right survey sheet for a graph making assignment in math?  If the answer to any of these is yes, then this is the site for you!  SparkleBox provides teaching resources of all kinds for teachers.  While this site is aimed for adults, it is safe for all age groups to view.  There are some advertisements, but they are carefully screened to be sure it is safe for all age groups that may view this site.  These advertisements are minimal and not overpowering or distracting.  It includes downloadable resources free of charge for teachers to use in their classroom.  No membership or sign up is required.  It includes math, English, science, history, classroom management, special education resources, etc.  There are great activities to use in their holiday themed resource section as well. 
            The printables are free of charge and are ready and waiting for you to download them and use them in your classrooms.  So get online and take a look! I believe you will like what you see.

  2. I have never heard of Sparklebox but will definitely use this fall! Yes, I have needed an award to print off or a graphic organizer last minute. I like that it's free and no membership. Its' frustrating when you find something really cool and it asks for a membership. Thanks for sharing!
