Pre-training website # 1 http://education.ti.com/calculators/downloads/US/#Guidebooks
This is the Texas instruments website where workshop participants can familiarize themselves with the functions of the graphing calculator. This site is preferred since it also offers download and activities suitable for various grade levels math and science. In addition teachers can get information about local professional development activities.

Pre-training website # 2 http://quizstar.4teachers.org/
This site offers resources where teachers could create online interactive quizzes. One advantage it has over other similar sites is that multimedia files can be attached to questions. These quizzes could also be accessed from any web enabled device.

Graphic organizer website #1 http://my.hrw.com/nsmedia/intgos/html/igo_lessons.htm
This web site has a variety of interactive graphic organizers which can help workshop participants to brainstorm, organize, and visualize their ideas. The organizers could be downloaded in PDF format and the comments could be typed in before printing it out. It is more useful than other similar sites because each graphic organizer also includes teaching notes with tips on how to use graphic organizers in the classroom.

Graphic organizer website # 2 http://edhelper.com/teachers/graphic_organizers.htm

This site is extremely easy to navigate has a variety of graphic organizers for teachers to organize their lessons. There are also organizers suitable for the math classroom such as Venn diagrams.

Presentation website #1 http://classtools.net/

Workshop presenters could create free educational games, quizzes, activities and diagrams in seconds with the resources on this site. These could be hosted on blogs, websites or templates could be exported as image files ready to import into documents,

Presentation website # 2 http://www.lecturetools.com/interactive-presentation-tool

This site offers tips to make power point presentations more interactive questions to engage your students. There are also resources for presenters to get uploading your existing presentations, add new interactive activities, and publish slides printouts for participants.

The three web sites I chose are:

(a) Cool Math http://coolmath.com/

(b) Castle Learning http://castlelearning.com/

(c) Illuminations http://illuminations.nctm.org/

Cool Math
This site was launched by a math teacher in 1997, and offers resources for students from K-12. Cool Math is highly interactive with games, puzzles, accompanied with appropriate sound effects as students have fun while learning math. This site focuses on cognitive activity, and has links other math sites, and on other topics including sites about teen stress management. This is learned centered since it allow
Castle Learning
Castle Learning is a K-12 resource for K-12 teachers, students and parents in a number of subject areas. It offers instant grading, detailed assessment reports, and instructional feedback. This tool is definitely behaviorist oriented, and teachers can send individual assignments to students to reinforce concepts. Students could also generate their own assignments for practice. This site also boasts that their content and assessments are aligned to state and Common Core standards, and that they provides the necessary data analysis to assist administrators in meeting district objectives
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NTCM) Illuminations web site

This resource offers a number of interactive math activities, some behaviorist, and some cognitivist. One such resource allows students to enter data and construct a selected graph: area, bar, line, or pie. They are asked to provide labels, captions, and other information needed to generate the graph, and they have control over the output, including size, format, colors, and file type. The resulting graphs can be printed directly, or pasted or saved to incorporate into other documents.
According to Laureate (2009), a technology-centered approach uses the capabilities of cutting-edge technology to create multimedia instruction while a learner-centered approach is designed to influence the learning process. Two of these sites, Cool Math and Illuminations allow students to actively construct and link to prior knowledge (Mayer's principle of active cognition, while castle learning is more about reinforcement. centered learning.
