What is it?
This site is sponsored by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, which is the company that supplies the textbooks that are being used in classrooms. The title of this site is Education Place. It is a tool for parents, teachers and students. It can be used for lesson ideas, assistance with work, homework help, as well as extra activities.
Audience:
Educators: This site is supplies a tab for Educators, Students and Families. The Educators section has textbook support materials for each educational area, including: Reading/Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Spelling, Pre-K, Assessment System, Intervention Products, and Professional Development.
When you choose an area, it asks you to pick the book that you use. It then ask you for grade level, in very easy to understand windows. Once you have picked the level a window appears with activity ideas, correlations, bulletin board ideas, etc. For example, if you choose spelling, it has word find tabs, letter and word cards and word puzzles. Social Studies has graphic organizers, state maps and weekly reading.
Students: The students’ site offers so much, from brain teasers to study help. Students can go on just to play games or to get extra help on the section of their text book that they are currently working on in school. in the same way the educators section works, students can pick their textbook and their grade level to reach the desired area they need. In addition to the selected areas of education, this area also has a Wacky Web Tales tab, Current Events, Brain Teasers and Games.
Parents: Again, the parents section is set up like the others, you pick a book and a grade level. When you get to your desired area, it offers activities and extra help. I think one of the most beneficial parts of the parents’ site it the Math Demonstration tab. As a parent and student teacher, I can attest to the fact that I have not done some of this stuff in over 20 years, so it’s nice to be able to look back at the different ways to complete a certain problems. Many of the ways our students are shown how to complete problems are not the same ways that some of us older people were taught.
What is an Advantage to using this site?
The big advantage to this site is that it aligns with the Georgia Performance Standards, there is actually a tab right on the site to take you to the standard.
What is a disadvantage to this site?
A disadvantage to this site is that even though the material is based on the book our students are using in their classrooms, it does not provide actual material from the book. I understand why it doesn’t, people wouldn’t buy the book them, but it would be helpful to parents and students if they could view a small part of each section.
Is this site useful?
I find this site very useful, I actually discovered this site while helping my son with some homework he had; the activities helped him understand something he had been having trouble with. As an educator, it is another site that can provide you with new ideas and/or materials.
