Great list! I really want Teach Town for my classroom, but the school didn't approve the extra spending :( My kids love the free version of Starfall, but I'm considering buying the full teacher membership.

I love Starfall as well! I forgot to mention that it has some free sections. I'm also thinking about buying the full membership, since they have so many educational games.
ReplyDeleteLove the resources! I'm familiar with starfall and pbs kids. Just found your blog through the liebster awards (Lower Elementary Cottage). I'm a special ed teacher as well and just started following you.
ReplyDeleteWith so many resources, including all the new apps, it's tough to know where to begin. Unfortunately, studies have been done for only a handful. For social skills, there is an added problem that almost all of the studies, the kids improve on lab measures but not in the real world. This quote from the Social Skills Builder study is typical, "they did not appear to have generalized these skills in a natural setting". The only exception so far is this study.
