I too have found fun ways to incorporate additional resources into my lessons to make it meaningful and everlasting. I use several website with my students as an educator with students ranging from elementary-high school. Here are websites that I use to play games for the students to remember the information: http://www.pppst.com/templates.html http://jc-schools.net/tutorials/PPT-games/ I also use movies as it relate to the topics of the course; along with technology websites and hands on activities to help students retain information. Are there any other resources out there that's available? Please respond back. Thank you. I hope these websites provided as well… >>>
