There are many ways to incorporate technology with education. Technology can be partnered with any subject and in any grade. The subject I'm most interested in is math. Teachers seem to find it much harder in incorporate technology with math than any other subject, so I try to find ways to accomplish that.
The AIMS Puzzle Corner provides more than 100 math-related puzzles appropriate for students in upper elementary grades and middle school. Most include printable worksheets. It also provides science-related puzzles. This site will definitely be one of my go-to resources.
You can also incorporate technology with history. One way to make history fun, since most children seem to think it's not,is to visit This Day in History. It tells you what happened in history on the exact day that you visit the site.It's a great way to make things interesting and it's something that can be done everyday or whatever day you decide to give a history lesson.
Have the students practice their reading comprehension skills with Fluency Through Fables. Designed for students of English as a second language, the activity is appropriate for English-speaking students in elementary and middle school as well. The lesson includes a brief fable and four categories of related activities; vocabulary matching exercises, vocabulary completion exercises, multiple choice comprehension exercises, and written discussion exercises.
I am really glad you are interested in math. AIMS Puzzle Corner is a great website but try thinking of other ways to teach beside worksheets. Elementary children get distracted easily, think about a hands-on project!
