ECI 512

Teacher Tube is similar to Youtube but the focus is on educational videos. The reason I listed this website as a least favorite is that is not user friendly. The organization and search feature can be frustrating.

This is my least favorite website because it is similar to Ed Helper however you don't have to pay for the resources. But it is just simply a collection of worksheets.

Ed Helper is one of my least favorite websites because you have to pay for the resources which are only worksheets which as teachers we can access those from any workbook.

This website is a collection of videos but it is not always reliable. Also I find this website frustrating because it is unorganized.

This website is interactive and engaging. It offers current and relevant information for all content areas. The intended audience is teachers and students. This website also offers workshops and courses.

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.

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.

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.

This website created by UNC's School of Education includes resources for K-12 education. There are lesson plans and professional development opportunities for teachers. I like this website because it is connected with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. This makes it easier for EOC teachers who are looking for resources that will connect them to what they should be teaching and when.

You can find useful lesson plans some times. Allot of the lesson plans will not load or will not come up.

This is one of my least favorite websites because it was hard to navigate through as well as what you were looking for was hard to find. 

This would be great tool for teachers if you did not have to pay for lesson plans. There are so many other websites that you can get great lesson plans and they are FREE!!!

This is one of my least favorite websites because you have to pay for lesson plans. Teachers don't make a great deal of money as it is so why would you want to pay for lesson plans when you can find others for free. 

This is another one of my least favorite websites because I feel that it is cluttered and hard to navigate through especially for a child.  

This is one of my least favorite websites because students are only concerned with playing the games and not the educational aspect.  

This is one of my favorite websites as well. I like that it has information for teachers, parents, kids, administrators, and librarians. This is a great website that everyone can use. 

This is one of my favorite websites because this is where teachers can find the North Carolina curriculum for all grade levels. Also on the DPI website teachers can find good lesson plans that align with the NC curriculum.

This is also one of my favorite websites. I like this website because it provides helpful lesson plans and  information for teachers as well as activities for students.

This is one of my favorite websites.The website provides excellent free worksheets that are good to use in the classroom.

This art dictionary was not helpful at all when I searched for information to use with my students. It features the infamous "scroll of death" on practically every page. The alphabetical sorting in the left hand navigation index runs together and could have been broken into smaller sections for easier reading. If not paying attention, one would miss that there is another LONG list of terms to click on below the alphabets. Font sizes are inconsistent throughout the site as well.

Crayola is like the McDonald's of art supplies. I cannot deny that there they don't make decent products and that there are actually acceptable projects lurking within the search engines. Visually and navigation-wise, this site is great. Why isn't it one of my favorites? Coloring sheets!!! I abhor coloring sheet advocates. While coloring sheets can be temporarily useful for training students to stay inside lines, they are definitely not beneficial for much else.

This site is a visual nightmare! Obviously, there is quite a bit of information to be found. However, category lists are lengthy and not always in appropriate categories (in my opinion). The times I did search for projects, I can't recall finding much other than "school art" or "cookie cutter" recipes. I suppose that's what my brain is for...One thing this site doesn't lack is variety!
