    I was not really impressed with this website as far as the resources provided.  It would simply give you a website to go to and then once you got to that website, it would send you to another website, and then it just seems like you would keep going in circles and never find a beneficial website with useful information.  It was difficult to navigate.

    This website is my most favorite website simply due to the content that I am currently teaching. I use this website on a daily basis. The intended audience for this website is for teachers for the following courses: Civics, middle school Social Studies, English, and US History. This website is created and ran by UNC's School of Government. It includes lesson plans, PowerPoints, and videos.

    I discovered this website during my first year of teaching. This website was created by Ms. Pojer, an excellent history teacher . This website has a large collection PowerPoints along with rigorous lesson plans. The intended audience is teacher and students. I like this website because it was created by a seasoned and experienced teacher.

    Although this website has a few good resources, I think overall it is not a very helpful website for teachers.  When clicking on web resources, powerpoints, educational videos, etc.  it often simply sends you to "Google Ads" and provides no information that is helpful.  I feel as though it could be organized in a more efficient way where it provides you with direct links to educational videos and/or websites/lessons.

    I like this website because it is more than just games. There is a link to math videos that teach students. There is a lot topics covered on this website. The games are also good and progressively move up in skill level. I think this would be good website to help kids practice math.

      This goes on my least favorite sites because of it's lack of credible information. I just feel that it can dramatically mislead a student.

      I agree. This site almost always comes up #1 in the search results. It is not allowed in my classroom for any type of research purposes.

      You just never know what you are going to get from this site. Could be great....could be not so great. Not my top pick for students.

      I use Wikipedia for personal use only. You never know if the information is accurate. Students love Wikipedia for some reason. (It is always the first website to come up for websites).
  • Alex Foutz on 16 Jan 11
     
    Wikipedia is a controversial source. I like the source for quick information for personal use, but I do not like it as an educational website. The main complaint for the site is that anyone can change it. That is not why I do not like it. I do not like it because I think it leaves out critical information on many topics. It is a good tool for getting quick easy questions answered but not for in depth answers to tough questions.

    You can't be sure this information is accurate. (1 of 5 of least favorite websites)
  • Catherine Smith on 18 Jan 11
     
    Although this website has a lot of good information on it at times, it can not be depended on to provide accurate information to teachers or students.  Since anyone can post information on this website, it is not reliable for students or teachers to use in the classroom for important projects or lessons.

    I do not let my students use wikipedia, for the main reason that anyone can edit the information. Not all of the information is correct.

    This website is intended for teachers and students. I like this website because it ran by one of the most reputable historical institutions in the world. This website is also engaging.

    This website provides a lot of great resources for teachers to use in the classroom.  It provides lesson planning ideas which include interactive activities and games to use in the classroom.  Also, professional development activities are provided on topics such as classroom management.  Additionally, there are many technology integration ideas provided.  There are also newsletters, blogs, and other resources on this site.

    This is one of my favorite websites because it is a good source to use for lesson plans.

    I was not a fan of this website because when I first clicked on it a pop up came up. Also, I feel like there are a ton of links and little words all over the website. It seems overwhelming. I did not like navigating this page, therefore it is one of my least favorites.

      I assume everyone's seen this site. If you haven't it summarizes texts and information. But it's one of my least favorite sites, as an English guy. It just cheats kids out of thinking for themselves. It's not 21st century learning-students don't learn to think or read critically, they just regurgitate the information they read here, which does more harm than good.

      This site is a favorite of my students, but not one of mine. I have reservations about this site because it teaches our kids that they do not have to pick up a book and read it. It encourages them in a sense to be lazy.
  • A B on 17 Jan 11
     
    This was becoming popular when I was in high school. Instead of reading a book - just learn about it online. Just another website that makes it easier for students not to learn. (4 of 5 least favorite websites).
  • Catherine Smith on 18 Jan 11
     
    I dislike this website because students feel as though they can use this instead of reading the book that is required of them.  A lot of times, it even gives false or inaccurate information about the book being searched or read.  It only provides students with overviews and chapter summaries and takes away from the details that they could be reading in the actual book.

    This website has lots of drill and practice work. The exercises are colorful and animated. This keeps the attention of students. There is a lot of variety in types of tasks, including science, math, and language. The difficulty of each exercise grows with the number of correct answers. Immediate feedback is provided on everything.

    Fun brain has some great games for students to learn different things, but some of the games are not very educational.
  • Paul Fullmore on 20 Jan 11
     
    I can honestly say that I enjoy this site. Out of 10, this site will be raked at six. K-8 students are the intended audience for this site. They do have many interactive games, but the attention of the students sometimes worry about "playing" and do not focus on learning.
  • Anna Hipps on 23 Jan 11
     
    This is also one of my least favorite websites because once again it has a lot of games that students like to play but not a lot of learning is done
  • Morgan Wigal on 24 Jan 11
     
    I like this website because it is not only for kids but also for teachers. It has math and reading games, as well as other types of games and information. I think this would be a good site for young students to use in centers in a class or for extension activities.

    Discovery Kids functions as an educational site for kids ages 6-12. The site is very visually attractive and has plenty of games to play and fun facts to learn. Most of the facts relate to questions that the children have always wanted to know.

    I really like this website. I am Elementary, so this is a good website for younger kids. It has many games on it, and it is easy to navigate. It also has some good information on it for kids.

    This website provides many different resources for students and teachers.  It provides worksheets for kids about current events, quizzes, different types of graphic organizers, and more.  Also, there are mini-lessons that students can look at.  Students can also read different stories and current events and choose the reading level.  Games are also provided on this site.  There are many other resources that make this website a good one.

    This is a great website for kids, as well as teachers. There are great articles students can read, as well as worksheets and graphic organizers. This is also a good site teachers can use to print off excerpts or articles for students to read in class or use for instruction.
