website is a "Treasure Hunt of Penguin Facts." The Treasure Hunt consists of about 12 questions that require the student to research the penguin information on the Sea World website, so that they can find the correct answers for the Treasure Hunt. If the student scores well enough on the Treasure Hunt questions, they might be inducted into the "Explorer's Hall of Fame." The Treasure Hunt is just a fun way to get the students motivated to learn and read through the information about penguins. The combination of these two websites gives students the opportunity to learn about penguins in an exciting hunt for penguin facts.

At this site, the kids will be able to practice skills, enrich their skills, and review. Once you enter the website, there are various "treetures" that you can click on. If you click on Mama Greenleaf, she will go through all of the leaves with you. When the student put's their mouse over the solid leaves, they change to real life pictures. The kids can learn facts about the leaves here. The site helps students review the three types of leaves in which they are learning about (simple, compound, and conifer). There is even a quiz that they can take. I'm using this website because it lets the students to learn/review at their own pace and not feel pressured. The parent's could also assist the students to discover the other areas of interests on this site such as twigs, branches, forests, planting trees, etc.

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.

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.

gives the students the ability to search multiple levels or ages ranges of math all within the same site. You can also use this website to play games and work with finance (money) type problems, and then it also gives lesson plans and worksheets. There is a link for parents, students, and teachers and each one is available to everyone without any passwords or registration. This is nice so that not only the teacher but also for parents to see at home to try and assist their children if they are having problems at home with homework or a problem. When incorporating with the lesson. I would have the students use it to review specific topic or section of the website as a way to enrich what they know already know.

The site uses an electronic timeline that serves as backbone for the entire coursework throughout the year. Students post all work to the site. This includes individual and collective research work, a writing component, factual assessments, and an emphasis on presentation, collaboration and discussion. The site places an emphasis on active learning that they hope will strengthen skill development (technology, research, historiography, communication). The end of year the students produce a substantial final project.

Art can be inspired from anything, sometimes having art, a story, and music work together is another form of art. The above mentioned website contains games for children in art classes that have good examples for the combination of the formerly mentioned subjects. Some of the games have animation that flows with the background music with it. This shows how art can be used to follow or show music in a visual form. This way students can better understand the relations between the art and music.

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.

You can search many subjects. I searched for punnett square practice and a punnett square calculator. The URL is http://www.classbrain.com/artteensb/publish/creating_punnett_squares.shtml. This is a really neat site, and it complements my lesson plan well. Under working out punnett square examples, there is an interactive quiz, where students can keeping choosing answers until they find the right one. There are quizzes for both monohybrid and dyhybrid crosses. Also, under the punnett square calculator, students can choose mono or dihybrid gametes to cross. The F1 generation appears. After doing an in-class lab on punnett squares, it could be fun for students to play around with this calculator to compare their results with what the calculator actually gets. It's a fun way for them to check their work, and have fun, maybe without realizing they're learning.

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.

Purplemath's algebra lessons are written with the student in mind. These lessons emphasize the practicalities rather than the technicalities, demonstrating dependable techniques, warning of likely tricks questions, and pointing out common mistakes. The lessons are cross-referenced to help you find related material, and a search box is on every page to help you find what you're looking for.

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.

Capzles is a unique timeline type of Web 2.0 tool that lets you create unique storylines by implementing images, video, and audio files directly into the timeline. Currently, Capzles is absolutely free and there are no downloads or plug-ins required to use the tool. The way I could use this website/timeline tool is by asking the students to look back at their earlier years of life and record when they think they started using each level of math up to where they are today. I will write down what level of math they did by talking to their previous teachers to find out what they learned. I will then compare what they actually did to what they thought they did.

With Mind Meister, students are able to visually see the lessons we will accomplish throughout the week. Mind Meister is fun and interesting; I feel my students will stay engrossed in the fun designs that can be made with this website. I will also use this website to ask students previous knowledge about the lessons. For example, before starting my unit on dinosaurs and fossils, I will ask students to recap what they already know about them and incorporate this into a mind map.

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.

This website is directed towards educators to use as a tool in the carrying out of a lesson plan. When using the exact link itself, the website it brings me to a page that seems very simple and basic, but when looking at the company that created it, it is very complex and thorough.

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.

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.
