Gil Lowrey- 10/7/12 Overview: Proteacher.net is another resource site teachers can use to get ideas for lesson plans. You can search individual subjects or specific grades. There is also a chat section to chat with other teachers and a group's section to keep fellow teachers in the loop of your findings. Content: The content is extensive; it covers several subjects and grades K-8. You can also find specific standards and activities relating to those standards. Design: The design is poor. It is a little complex to navigate at first, but once you figure it out it becomes easier. This can be tricky and obviously everyone has his or her own learning curve. There is also a large portion of the site given to advertising which seems to take away from the sites validity at first, but when you remember this is simply a site to help find more resources it seems to not matter.

Gil Lowrey- 10/7/12 Overview: Mathwire is a site made by a teacher for teachers. A teacher named Terry put it together to help other teachers, and potentially students, with ideas that can be used in the classroom for several different grades and several different aspects of math. Content: The content is great, but can be overly specific at times. What I mean is, if you are looking for an addition activity, you can find those, but you will also find addition activities in other areas, like how to add variables. Design: The design is good, but it is clearly made by an amateur. That is not to take anything away from this site, it is excellent looking and easy to find information, but there are times it is a little hard to navigate. Also, in the Blog section, the main tool bar is changed which causes confusion on how to get back to the home page.

Gil Lowrey- 10/7/12 Overview: This website is for teachers, students and parents. You can look at several different subjects and there are links to activities for each. Teachers will get ideas for lesson plans, while students will get activities to help them. A company sponsors this website and if your books are from that same company there are special interactive activities. Content: This website covers several different subjects for several different grades and age groups. There are links to different activities for students to practice skills and different ideas for teachers to make lesson plans. Design: The design is appealing and makes it very easy to navigate. You pick whether you are a teacher, student, or family member and from there you select the state you are in, and then the subject and then finally the grade you are in. From here you can see several standards and look at activities related to them.
