Interesting and safe blogs for kids. Kids from around the world add stories, pictures, and videos of experiences from around the world. Good site to allow children to look through freely.

Blog rules are clearly posted. Sub blogs, like DogEared (about books), Green Scene (about taking care of the planet), and You Are Here (searching for landmarks) are cool for kids to post pictures of themselves and find out about cultures, animals, and trends around the world. This would be good for kids!

Sesame street becomes interactive on this website. Teachers, parents and students can access desired material to aid with learning.

This is the PBS kid website. It has great games and activities for a child to interact with and learn at the same time!

This is a very good website for kids to go too! I know the girls I babysat this past summer loved going on here and playing the different games that went along with their favorite shows on tv.

This website is organized into three parts: educators, families, and students. The Educator part gives teachers many great teaching materials, online resources, lesson plans, field trip ideas and professional development resources. The Families part gives tipes and suggestions for families planning on visiting the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. The Students part gives students links to discover the museum as well as various links and resources to explore different subjects from school. The resources include websites, games, and activities. 

I liked how you could search for topics by state standards and grade level besides subject. This would be a good resources for both kids and teachers. The separate kids section is also a good exploratory site in that they can discover things on their own.

Great Resource for math classes. This has interactive games for kids to play, and it also has videos for them to watch. It puts a new twist on some common math concepts. Great lesson ideas available for math teachers.

I definitely agree that this resource can be used efficiently in my own future classroom. I LOVE math, and enjoyed looking through this website. I liked how it included a teachers corner that gives teachers many ideas and tips on how to use the videos and games in a math lesson/unit. This resource is geared towards both students and teachers; the games and videos are mainly for students benefit, but the teachers corner is also a great resource for teachers. There are many other great websites that include interactive games and videos for teachers to use with their students (as well for students to practice on their own at home). Some examples are: http://illuminations.nctm.org/, http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html, and http://gregtangmath.com/.

This is a great tool to help find books for different seasonal activities for kids. It helps pair down books and makes it easier to find resources.

This podcast on law and economics focuses on individual liberty and Constitutional and Common Law. This would be an excellent resource in the social studies classroom for added depth and perspective.

This could work in a government or economics class. Definitely for older kids, I think.

Free math and science education/lessons/tutorials online.

This is a great tool for math and science teachers. It's a really good resource for kids to have when they are struggling with a concept. When it's uploaded as video they can chose their own pace by pausing the video. I myself have used YouTube videos like this to help me learn something new.

I have used this site myself to help with math tutoring and it really is a efficient tool to do some quick teaching.

Great resource for lessons and classroom activities for Social StudiesClasses.This one site is connected to many other history themed educational sites. While planning my first lesson ever, this site was my go to. It helped with activity ideas, lecture, and powerpoints. Although I may have not used everything it gave me great ideas to build on.
