Looking for Digital Content? Look no further with Edcite!

Whether we like it or not, we live in a very digital world.  Students enter our classrooms with a thirst for digital content.  We often hear that students learn differently today and in order to engage and meet their needs we need to make our classrooms more digital.  Teachers are asked to provide this, but often times are provided little time, guidance or resources. So the question often times asked is "Where do I start?"  A great place to start is with Edcite.

Over my past 10 years of working in educational technology, the best resources are ones provided by teachers...it provides comfort knowing they have been field tested by the experts in the field.  That is why Edcite is a great resource.   It is a free website that allows teachers to find, create, or share interactive digital assignments and assessments.  There are over 11,000 digital assignments across all grade levels that are engaging for students.  My philosophy has always been--why reinvent the wheel. Edcite allows you to take an assignment from other teachers to use as is or customize it to bring your own curricular touch. If you are interested in learning more about it watch the "Edcite: What will you create?" video below and also visit their website.  In addition, be sure to read this blog post, which provides sample assignments.
