Course Port gives us skills through Intergration Corner

The textbook website Courseport fosters technological pioneering for education. Integration Corner is an inventive division with extensive ideas on how to do it. One consideration which was useful to the early childhood classroom is a link to a website called http://www.kaboose.com/ . Using this site could be beneficial to parents, teachers, and anyone with a genuine interest in child welfare and family issues.
Many parents don’t have a clear idea how to determine their child’s intelligence. This site offered educational academic achievement measurement tools for varying ages and stages. The site offers video tutorials in how to teach assorted topics led by experts in the field. The site has countless ideas for hands on activities and printable worksheets. Parents and teachers find a plethora of resources at their finger tips.
Since our country has the highest obesity rate of children in the world an important feature of the site is the section on health. Kid friendly exercises are illustrated through power point presentations which promotes good form. The nutritional section offers caloric counters for food, foods for moods, how to get kids to eat healthy, and weight /height predictors. The site has links to music which promote healthy habits. Ingraining healthy habits is made easier and more applicable with these fun ideas.
