Tell me what you get when you mix culture, education and technology together?
Too slow! You get Newsela. Newsela caters to articles that interest 3-12 grade students. There are quizzes at the end of each article to keep our scholars in the realm of becoming disciplined intellectuals. This is a free site but you have to sign up for it. This site is also translated in Español (Spanish).
WONDEROPOLIS
I wonder why this site provokes so much thought in students. This site provides enlightening questions for students to wonder and discover about. They can also make up their own questions about anything they wonder and submit it for other children around the world to answer. How cool is that! What do you wonder about?
TWEENTRIBUNE

Socrative is also a free site. You do not have to be a teacher to join. Remember as parents and individuals who care about our scholar babies education, you are the teacher. This site helps you join forces with your child's teacher. Socrative allows you to make up your own quizzes and tests for your child. If you want to make sure they know all their multiplications, use Socrative to make up your own test and quiz them. You can assess them with multiple choice or short essay questions. When they think they are about to go outside to play, drop a pop quiz on them to see what they are learning in school...boom!
SCRIBLE
This is a high-tech research site where students can go for school assignments or parental assignments. It is your right as a mom or dad (aunts and uncles too) to give them extra work to do whenever you feel like it. Every time they think they want to get out of the respectful line into the disrespectful lane, please give them a subject to research. They will be smart and respectful when you are done with them.
