Incredibly enjoyable set of animated videos that bring home simple messages of how to be more environmentally conscious. Wonderful for elementary school age kids, but can be enjoyed by one and all!

The site has links to what carbon footprint means and other tips on how to "Go Green".

These videos are a must watch! 

A very Happy Teachers' Day to all of us here!

I'm the mother of a 5 year old. I've made a few math worksheets on Kindergarten and Primary maths (numbers, addition, multiples, factors, fractions...). They are available as .pdf downloads from my website. They mostly relate to the stories we tell each other and to what we see around us. As of now there are about 10 worksheets, but I will keep adding. Any feedback is welcome.

Google and Common Sense Media have teamed up to create this video of common sense tips and rules for families to help keep their children safe online. The video is up on youtube - http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=kUyQI0USNSY

Not sure how different this was from the workshop on Internet Safety conducted by Google in Mumbai that was mentioned in this post recently.

A site I saw and thought maybe it could be shared. Its a knowledge based site, has collaborated with Scholastic a few years ago as you can see from here. A help to teachers and students.

Since there has been much written here on educatorslogin on the subject of Multiple Intelligences (MI) and the use of this theory in the classroom, I thought I'd share a few sites that teachers, parents...anyone really, can use to assess their MI profile, and more importantly to help identify strengths (and weaknesses) of your students, perhaps at the beginning of the academic year when you have a bunch of new students to work with.

Some are online and some can be printed out and done offline. read more
