    This website enables my students to search the world, either by continent, country, or city. For example, if we were studying Spain in my classroom, I could have my students each have an assigned "site to see" from Spain and they could go here, look up all the information about it, get a picture, and see where on the map it is located. For me, this would be extremely helpful in a Geography classroom, or in a Language classroom when studying cultures or places in the world that are famous. This site could also be very helpful if a person was planning a trip to a foreign country, or city/town.

The Ustream.TV Blog » Blog Archive » A Live Lesson on George Washington - Pul... - 0 views

    It's kind of like Skype but it's more for educational use. I was thinking about using this tool in my classroom and perhaps videoconferencing with my sister and mom who are also elementary music teachers. Maybe I could set it up so that we co-teach a lesson on music together, or maybe sing a duet with the other classroom of music students using the videoconferencing. It'd be fun for the kids to see other kids in music that are all the way in the southwest corner of the United States, since my sister teaches in Arizona. This would be something I'd definitely think about using.

    This website has many resources and videos for quick and easy to understand segments related to a wide variety of science topics. I believe that clips could be edited and shown in the classroom for certain topics that I believe are better explained in a video segment. They have a section called "tips for teachers" that gives useful resources. If we have the fortunate ability to have computers in the classroom this site would provide many activities for kids to enjoy in groups or individually. I believe it would be fun for the students which would encourage learning.

Siftables - 0 views

  •  
    Siftables are small, block-like smart objects that include a display and the ability to sense their own location and orientation and the proximity of other Siftables. They are sort of like high tech versions of the building blocks with letters and numbers we used as children. The can play music, form words, and other exciting functions. IF I had these in my classroom I would definitely use them in math. On the website it shows a video of siftables with numbers on them and you can arrange say 5 + 3 = each on a different siftable. On the last siftable it will produce the answer when you line them up. This way children get an instant answer. You could also use it with spelling which can also be seen on the video on the website.

    This is a service that allows the user to keep track of the web pages they have visited, and keeps them in a usable order. The service is free. I can see this being beneficial in the classroom because the majority of student research is conducted with online tools. This service allows you to keep track of where your research has taken you, even if you don't bookmark every relevant page. It also will provide a safety net for novice researchers, who won't have to spend another hour looking back to see where they found a specific example or piece of information.

Free Printables : Letter Mash : SEN Teacher ~ Free teaching resources for Special Needs. - 0 views

  •  
    This site provides free and simple "printables" for teachers. It is more of a resource for the teacher than for the student, but in my classroom, that's what is going to be most practical most often.

Kids on the Net - 1 views

    This website offers students from all across the country to enter their writings. This website can help students not only improve their writing skills, but it would also give the students the opportunity to interact with other students from all across the world. This will give them a new look into diversity, and it will give them the opportunity to have new friends. I would use this website in my classroom to help let the students interact with the other people. Also, this website would help them realize the importance of writing. It would also give them the feeling of accomplishment because their writings could be published. This website would be very helpful because they could also look up what other students had to say about certain subjects.

AlgebraLAB: Making Math and Science Connections - 0 views

    I feel like this would be very good to use as a resource in my classroom. As a middle school math teacher, I will be using a lot of algebra in my class. This would be a very helpful site to use as practice or review. Rather than having students bring their books home to complete their homework, they could just log into the site and complete the problems.

Smarthistory: a multimedia web-book about art and art history - 0 views

  •  
    The site has a timeline of art history, information on different artists, and different art styles. In my classroom, I could take the whole class to computer lab and teach them about different styles of art in art history. I could then have them each try to duplicate one of the styles. They could also look at some of the famous artwork and artist as an inspiration.

Kidinfo.com - Your Guide to Educational Powerpoints for Learning - 0 views

  •  
    This website would work in a third grade classroom perfect. I think that it would work perfect because it is very easily to access. It is also very easy to use because all the lessons are setup for you and ready to use. The materials that are in this website are perfect for this age group. Some of the categories are: Art, Famous Explorers, Library skills, and math mathematics I would work them into my lesson by asking the kids to take turns reading what's on the overhead and then we would stop to talk about what we learned. We would also have quizzes after our PowerPoint presentation on what we talked about.
