BrainHoney!



While doing some research for my other course, I came across BrainHoney~a site that can be used for teachers to design and implement lesson plans, both online and within the classroom. I  spent some time exploring the site, which is quite easy to use and can definitely be useful in aiding the creation and/or organization of lesson plans for teachers.  Lesson plans can be directly linked to State standards, depending what subject area you are teaching.  There is also a gradebook that helps to assess whether or not students have successfully reached the standards that your lesson is focused on.   BrainHoney refers to their site as a way to achieve "Blended Learning."  Allowing students to access course materials online from home in order to review and keep up with the class (also if they are absent), as well as a tool for giving students immediate feedback and recognizing individual student needs.

It's pretty interesting and you can organize your lessons in any way that you wish-there are a lot of options and tools to use to fit each individual teaching style.  Check it out!
