Description
Inspired by teachers and teaching experts, RM Easiteach’s innovative
and easy-to-use teaching tools are software equivalents of familiar
teaching tools, including place-value cards for Math, sentence builder
cards for English Language Arts, map building tools for Geography,
and stopwatch and timer tools for Science. The RM Easiteach curriculum
toolbars have been designed for use with Elementary, Middle and
High School students.
Editing
Big Edit teaches students how the editing process can improve their text. A text (e.g. a sentence or phrase) is selected within a RM Easiteach page. When the Big Edit tool is selected from the Language Arts Toolbar, the selected phrase will appear at the top of the Big Edit window. The phrase can then be repeatedly edited with the final version of the sentence or phrase being pasted back into the original text.
Word & Sentence Builder
Once this tool is selected it enables teachers to select cards containing common words and word endings and to place these on the RM Easiteach screen. As well as providing a range of ready-made cards, teachers can also create their own cards. The cards fit together and can be used to build words from their parts or sentences from whole word cards. The cards can even be printed out and stuck on card for use away from the computer.
Remove Punctuation and Capitals Tool
This great tool enables teachers to remove punctuation from any text source, allowing the students to be able to drag the punctuation back to its correct position. This tool also allows you to remove the capital letters.
Cloze
This neat tool makes a cloze activity in seconds. Choose a text, and then simply click on a word to send it to the word wallet, with the word being replaced by an underline. The words can then be dragged from the word wallet into their correct places.
Highlight Tool
This versatile tool allows you to identify different categories of words pictorially, be it nouns and verbs, spelling patterns, or rhyming sequences - its uses are endless.
Timer
This fun tool allows teachers to set time limits for tasks thus improving the pace of the lesson for both the teacher and the students.
