Super Teacher Tools, games made easy and so much more!

Hello everyone!  My day was just made when my good friend Mr. Tom Place, over at The Giga Bite shared a wonderful site with me.

Super Teacher Tools is a fantastic site where you can go to find FREE, easy to use, customizable review games and teacher resources.  You can download them, play them online, or customize and download your very own game.  I tried the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game (in honor of Regis' retirement, of course) and it was very easy to fill in the questions and answers!  The game even comes complete with sound effects and lifelines!  Also check out Jeopardy!

There are also teacher resources available such as the seating chart and random group maker.

I also loved the world population counter; watch the population rise right in front of your eyes!

Go check it out!

***NOTE*** Please note that the Who Wants to be a Millionaire game library has been attacked by spammers.  Please do not click on any of the games currently listed.  Tom has emailed the site administrators for Super Teacher Tools and they should fix the issue soon.

Get those brains warmed up, it's time to go to Archimedes' Lab!

It's time to shake ourselves out of this mid-winter slump!  Maybe it's just me, but I've been starving for some good brain exercises lately and I've found just the site to help me out.  Archimedes' Lab has an amazing collection of math puzzles and mental activities that can get steam coming out of your students' ears.  Look at the puzzle of the month or the online magic card trick (can you figure out how they do it??) in the Puzzles and Tests Section.  Check out reality-bending illusions in the Illusions and Paradoxes tab....

Which way is the man facing?

Try your reaction time with the infamous Stroop Test.  Solve the Droodle of the month... what's a Droodle, you ask?  Here's an example...

What are these?

 1. A shark returning from Disney World.  hehe

2. A koala climbing the other side of a tree. See him?

There is so much to explore!  Check it out and get your students thinking in different ways!
