When it comes to helping students, few tools are as effective as a great classroom teacher. But a great classroom teacher with great tools? Unstoppable. Yet wading through the tons of resources out there to find the ones that can work for you takes time: this one has too many ads, that one's too expensive, this one has parts that aren't age-appropriate…we feel your pain. With that in mind, we've culled the best resources from the Internet. Here it is: a list of the top seven types of online tools to help support your work in the classroom.
1.计时器
Quick, now—everyone get into their groups for three minutes of group work. Now, let's reconvene and discuss our findings for two minutes. Five minutes left in this section of the test…
您与学生有限的时间，并且您有机会您有详细的计划如何充分利用它。我们还猜测，在如何使用该时间时，我们还在智能手机上不断重置计时器在您的优先级列表中不高。问题解决了！Magoosh的学习计时器和秒表for iOS is here to help. It's perfect for proctoring practice exams—it's pre-programmed for the ACT and SAT, among others—but also has "study time" settings you can use flexibly in the classroom. Students will also find that it has a question counter feature they can use to track their practice for standardized exams, as well, if they use it individually.
2. Foundational Math Concept Resources
每个老师都有他们：从另一所高中转移的学生，以某种方式结束了从未取代成绩;忘记了他们在夏天忘记了他们对几何的一切的学生;可以使用实体进修的学生在基础上。Khan Academyis a great resource for them! Breaking down math lessons into their component concepts (as well as courses), the non-profit allows students to refresh what they need to know with guided video lessons and practice. (If students need a quick brush-up before taking a standardized test like the ACT,Magoosh has blog poststhat can also help them!)
3. Foundational Language Concept Resources
Of course, there's more to ELA learning than the knowledge that students will need for standardized tests (though they can brush up on the necessarygrammar和vocabularyhere!). EnterPurdue在线写作实验室。此资源从清除导游到MLA（和APA和芝加哥，AMA）风格的所有内容都是第二语言课程。许多高中教师会找到他们的指南学术写作particularly useful for students struggling with the transition to more formal work.
4. Test Prep Resources
学生需要在课堂内外取得成功的技能。无论您是负责高中的测试准备计划还是只想帮助您的学生准备一段标准化的大学入学考试，Magoosh都有材料帮助您。从哪儿开始？看看我们为正在为这项行为开始学习的学生做好准备的视频。
The next step for many students will be to take anACT practice test和figure out their study goals. Of course, not all students will take the ACT—and Magoosh has tons of material for those taking the SAT, as well, includingthis practice testto start them on their way!
5.安排指导
How many minutes do you get with each student every day? If you're like most teachers, the answer is: probably not enough. Hence, homework (we know, we're preaching to the choir here!). One key skill that students learn in high school is how to schedule their time. When students struggle to do this, you're the first line of defense! Help them master their study plans withCornell's guidelines for creating a study schedule。Written for college students, it nevertheless has useful and practical tips that high schoolers can use, as well (prioritize, provide time for spaced review). Students balancing school work with test prep will also find that scheduling theirACT study或者坐立in a methodical way will get them the best results.
6. Fun
好的，所以它可能不是你在课堂上的主要目的......但是娱乐和高兴的学生（while将一些新的知识偷入他们的头部）是我们首先成为教师的重要原因。如果你教历史或科学，你会发现Crash Coursevideos are pretty much pure joy. Teaching another subject? You can find great speakers on a variety of subjects giving bite-sized TED Talks刺激学生的兴趣和好奇心 - 总是一个有价值的商品。
7. Quizzes
If the Temple of Apollo's lesson for visitors wasknow thyself,the corresponding maxim for your classroom might beknow thy students.不，你不必为学生提供Buzzfeed的Which Famous '90s Cat Are You?quiz (we may have made that one up), but there are lots of ways you can bring in online resources to help supplement their learning. Working in the social sciences?《纽约时报》每周新闻测试may be a great way to keep students' knowledge of current affairs sharp. Helping students decide which standardized test to take? Magoosh'sSAT or ACT quizcan help them decide. And for gathering data about your students and the tests you write and deliver,Socrative有很好的工具来帮助他们 - 你 - 继续进步。快乐的痛觉！
