  There are many effective websites that exist to help create multimedia materials, however there are many websites that are not effective based on containing extraneous information. I have chosen eight websites that I feel are effective and will assist me in my professional development workshop.
  The first websites are for the pre-training aspect of my workshop.
  1. How to Create a Blog Website, http://www.ehow.com/video_4774531_create-blog.html
  This website demonstrates how to create a blog web site in a very easy but effective step by step video. The demonstrator walks the viewer through the process by actually doing it on the blogger website. I chose this website as a part of my pre-training requirements for my workshop because students will be asked to participate in a blog in order to share their number sense materials and experiences with each other. This website seemed to be the most basic but informative website I found.
  2. Filamentality, http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/
  This website is an online tutorial website that focuses on creating webquests and websites for your students. This website helps you to plan and design your website in order to meet your needs for the classroom. It provides step by step instructions, handouts, a virtual tour, and formats/templates that you can use. I chose this website because as part of my workshop I would like teachers to be able to create a webquest and implement it into their math instruction. This website is effective, easy to use, and very thorough.
  
  The next websites are for the creating graphic organizers aspect of my workshop.
  1. Graphic Organizers, http://www.graphic.org/goindex.html
  This website is an informational website about graphic organizers. It explains the benefits of them and shows many examples of them. It also provides templates, examples, and tutorials on how to make virtual graphic organizers. I chose this website because I felt that it was easy to use and provided many examples of a variety of graphic organizers.
  2. Graphic Organizer Problem Solving, http://guidedmath.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/graphic-organizer-problem-solving-templates-use-in-guided-math-groups/
  This website is a great resource. It provides many different examples and templates for creating graphic organizers for math. It also provides many great links to other effective resources for math. I chose this website because it has a variety of great resources for math teachers to implement in their classroom.
  
  The next websites are for creating a presentation for my workshop.
  1. TeacherTube, http://www.teachertube.com/
  This website allows teachers to upload their presentations and give access to anyone. It allows you to upload power point presentations and videos. Not only is this a great presentation resource but it is also a great resource to use in the classroom.
  2. Slide Share, http://www.slideshare.net/
  This website allows anyone to upload and share their presentations if it is in power point, word, or adobe. It gives you the ability to make your presentation public or only allow particular people to see it privately. This website is easy to use and easy for others to access it.
  
  The final websites are for the authentic assessment portion of my workshop.
  1. Authentic Assessment Toolbox, http://jfmueller.faculty.noctrl.edu/toolbox/index.htm
  This website is a great resource. It explains what an authentic assessment is and provides examples and resources to create authentic assessments. It also provides rubrics, tasks, portfolios and more. I really love this website and its examples.
  2. Authentic Assessment, http://www.ala.org/aasl/aaslpubsandjournals/slmrb/editorschoiceb/infopower/selctcallison85
  This website provides teachers with a variety of types of authentic assessments along with examples and resources for authentic assessments. It is a very informative website and I believe it will help teachers better create authentic assessments for their students.
