Week 4: Material Generators

Material generators can be in a wide range of categories.  Below is a list of generators that I have used or that I would love to use.

1. Worksheet and puzzle generators (Superkids)

As a kindergarten teacher I love to use worksheet generators to allow students to have extra practice. I can produce worksheets for students to work on math skills and reading skills.  Worksheet generators are also convenient for the teachers. 

2.Graphic document makers

I would love to use graphic document makers to print awards for my students.  I normally just purchase awards for my students, but I believe that making them can make them more personal.  Graphic document makers can also be used to make flyers about events that are going on in the classroom or school.

3. Whiteboard activity software

While I wish I could say that this is something that I use but  I don't.  I believe that smart boards are awesome, but I currently do not have one in my classroom. I would love to use the whiteboard software because it allows the students to be interactive.  I think that students being interactive in the classroom is very important.  I haven't used this yet, but I can't wait until I am finally able to use it.

  1. I like the idea of graphic document makers. My students love it when I personally make things for them. I normally buy awards to give to my students, but I agree with you that using a graphic document maker would make it more personal.

  2. Brittany,
    I have taught kinder for 5 years and we choose the same 3 generators. I love the idea of personalizing awards for my kiddos:)
