There are a variety of lesson plans as well as interactive "gizmos" that will help students learn. Students can do the interactive portion and then be asked to complete the lesson plan. It's such a helpful site that will benefit the students and teachers.

This is a website for educators to effectively use and manage all technology available to them and explore uses of emerging resources. This website has great resources for signs and labels, class management, books, and many more resources for your classroom. It also allows you to share your own ideas and see other peoples. There is photo gallery where you can share classroom photos, bulletin boards and many other things.

This site is pretty awesome! It has lessons and activities, quizzes, and resources for every subject in grade levels K-6, including some for ESL students. I caught myself playing on this site for an hour!

This website introduces a software that administrators and teachers can use in school or for students. This is great software for the teachers because they can add all the students' data such as attendance, assignment grades and test grades. The teachers can analyze and assess students' achievement whenever they need to and see the students' strengths and weakness. In addition, parents can access this system at home so they know how their child is doing with the school work. It can be used as a communication method between teachers and parents.

This site is great for different grade levels. Awesome Library organizes 37,000 carefully reviewed resources, including the top 5 percent for teachers, students, parents, and librarians. It includes a search engine.

This website is an all around good website for teachers. it has a database of worksheets, templets, and even ideas for building lesson plans. The best thing about it is its free!

Dogpile.com makes searching the Web easy, it is very similar to Google, however it removes duplications of sources and gives the most relevant results on researched topics. There are also useful videos you can view if you learn better that way.

This website allows for teachers to post grades, attendance, assignments, and an assignment calendar for students and their parents. It also allows the teacher to easily create seating charts, instantly send alerts to parents via email or text, and it allows for the data to be exported to Excel if needed. I see this as a great tool for teachers to communicate to one another grades in other classes as well. The link below provides a demonstration all of the wonderful abilities teachers, students, and parents will have if the website is used to its maximum potential. http://gradebookportal.com/Videos/Premium%20Demo_Final/Premium%20Demo_Final.htm

6.7 Candidates use tools such as databases and spreadsheets for sorting, compiling, and analyzing data gathered from a variety of sources.

I think we were stuck with the least appealing website of the day topic. Databases and spreadsheets? Seriously? I guess that is what I get for sitting in the back of the class. But I think the Engrade online gradebook that you found is way cooler than the one I found. Nice!

I agree with the least appealing, I wasn't exactly sure how to go about finding a site where you could do spreadsheets but this one is a good one, as I've seen a few teachers I know use it. I think it would be a useful tool for a good connection with parents.
