Gynzy
Gynzy is an online resource for teachers with interactive whiteboard lessons. I chose a kindergarten or first grade lesson on Day and Night - specifically how the Earth is rotating and around the sun. This is a cool activity because it allows children to place items into the correct spot on the whiteboard, "move" the sun to see how it looks during different times of the day, and then there's a quiz at the end for a summative assessment, which the class could answer as small groups, or as a whole class. Gynzy is also really cool because you can edit the lessons for your class, such as adding slides with different information, or taking slides out if you don't want them.

I will definitely consider using Gynzy in my future classroom, because there are so many lessons available, most of the site is free and editable, and it's a great way for students to take charge of their learning, while having fun. Before taking this IT class, I don't think I'd ever realize that there are so many resources available for teachers.
