USA! USA! Let’s all cheer for the Olympics! The winter games are an excellent time to do some award winning learning! Here are some resources to help.
1) NBC Learn: If you haven’t checked out the new video series by NBC Learn you need to zip over there now. Students will learn about science, math, and engineering through several of the most popular winter sports. You won’t look at the half pipe and figure skating the same after watching these.
2) Visa 360 App: If you’ve ever wanted to be an Olympian now is your chance. This cool app lets you experience the view and movements of an Olympic athlete. You can ski downhill or dance on ice with this free app.
3) TTJunior/Tween Tribune: Keep up with current events including the Olympic games through this online newspaper.
4) Greg Tang Math Olympic Challenge: Make sure to join the fun with Greg Tang as he encourages kids to practice their math skills while competing for a chance to win some of his books!
5) Time for Kids Olympic Resources: News, activities, printables!
6) Olympic Videos, Sites, and More from Technology Rocks Seriously!: Love when lots of resources are all put together and easy to find. Technology Rocks Seriously does it again with this handy site full of Winter Games fun!
