IRA Newsletter Project #4: ABCYa https://www.abcya.com/ 

ABCYa is a helpful literacy website that has free printables as well as games that students can use to help improve their literacy. This website is mainly geared towards younger students as you can see by the types of worksheets and games that they offer. Nevertheless, students can still benefit from this website as it is enticing the students to practice on their literacy skills so that they are able to play the games properly. 

Teachers love using free resources and who would not agree with that! Websites such as ABCYa offer other areas of literacy skills such as grammar and one can even sort the games based on theme or even genre. This website is helpful and is actually partnered with IXL, which is another company that the Guam department of education uses for their students. It helps keep learning fun, but also meaningful.

Adonis Kier P. Ponce ED638 Fall 2022 Dr. Rivera IRA Newsletter Project: Effective Literacy Website #1 The effective literacy website that immediately grabbed my attention was  https://www.readingrockets.org/  as it is a website that is geared towards our K-3 students becoming strong, independent readers.

Ponce ED638 Fall 2022 Dr. Rivera IRA Newsletter Project #5: International Children’s Digital Library  http://www.childrenslibrary.org/ The International Children’s Digital Library is a website whose mission is to build a collection of books that shows both historical and contemporary books from around the world. They aspire to have every single culture and language represented in their website so that every student can read through literature that can help enrich their appreciation of their heritage as well as others. The website has organized links such as the book list, but they also give links based on how one would like to filter the book choices. One can choose books by the language it is spoken in, books by color, books by shapes, books by format and even books by genre and character. They also have fiction and nonfiction which they dubbed as “believe vs. make believe.” They are a website which is in partnership with the University of Maryland’s Human-Computer ...

  Internet Tools for the Classroom I have decided to explore the use of Prezi, Slideshare and Jamboard by Google. These are internet tools that I believe will be beneficial in the classroom, regardless of the mode of learning. The second website that I have chosen is called Slideshare. Slideshare is an internet tool that allows individuals to create informative slides that they can share to a wider range of audience. If you have ever wondered about a topic you may not have any familiarity with and wanted to comprehend the subject matter quickly, Slideshare is the internet tool to use! It has over 18 million uploads in 40 different categories of topics. Top experts use Slideshare and it would mean that the presentations presented in the website are informative and come from those that are experts on the topic. Overall, I found Slideshare to be a website that one can utilize in the classroom as students will be able to expl...
