We all know that Thanksgiving is just right around the corner. If you tend to lean a little toward the techie side, here are some TurkeyDay themed interactives and websites to investigate:From Free Technology for Teachers: A Round Up of 10 Thanksgiving Lesson Resources:
- This includes some great ones including John Green's Crash Course on US History (Jamestown & Plymouth Rock with a touch of sarcasm), the History Channel's "History of Thanksgiving," and 8 other fabulous resources from Scholastic, Plimoth Plantation, & more).
From The QR Queens over at Teachers Pay Teachers: Thanksgiving & Turkey Fun QR Codes:
- For $5, you get 15 links to "all-things Thanksgiving." Silly, serious, factual, fun, fabulous. Songs, stories, virtual field trips, drawing tutorials, and the gobble of turkeys. With a mobile device, a QR reader, and this set, you've got a great station or iPad activity for K-3rd graders (or even beyond)...those are the tried, true, tested ages of the kids at my school who fell in love with them. All I know is that I'm taking a set of codes with me for my Thanksgiving feast this year.
- These have a fun flair to them, perfect for the time between turkey and pie. Some oldies but goodies from their Thanksgiving post a few years ago, and unfortunately a few links no longer connect, but enough fun surrounding those few, that you or your kids will enjoy a little interactive relaxation time.
