This is a position statement listing Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) for ages birth to eight. Terrific for developing lesson plans and activities combined with the ISTE-T Standards.

This is an application that gets students up and moving. I participated in a practicum last year in a fourth grade room and in between lessons, the teacher would pick a Go Noodle for the kids to dance to. It was a great way for them to get rid of energy before starting the second half of their day.

Tripline.net is a website that is a virtual fieldtrip website. Children are able to view resources outside of the classroom while in the classroom. Purposegames.com is a website that allows students to play games to learn. They can use these websites outside of class as well as in class. Mathforum.org is a website that allows students to learn math better and get a better understanding online. They can use this at home as well as in school.

In this website related to evaluating resources, teachers can find tips/ideas on how to teach students to validate information and sources. Educators can offer this URL to students, and the learners can analyze what is required in authenticating information they find. For instance, the dimensions of critical analysis (relevance, accuracy, bias/perspective, and reliability) are clearly defined and explained. The teacher can then model examples of each dimension for children. Along with this and much more, questions to consider before using a source in your papers, etc. are identified.

I like this website and I'm using an article from it in my lesson this week. I like this article as well because I think it is important that teachers understand the necessity of children learning from every experience they have in the classroom.

This webpage provides awesome tools for teachers to select great websites for the classroom. It has recommendations for blog sites, modified web-based learning management systems, and much more.

The following websites are sure to capture students attention. These sites are for teachers but parents can use the websites as well to provide educational activities for their child. Most websites require the need to set up an account but all are free. Enjoy the sites and see what your children can create within a few minutes!

I found this particular twitter page very resourceful to early childhood education teachers.

This is great place where parents can tune in and see what their children are working on in class.

I like the idea of this deep website because it allows everyone to find out information on the hurricanes and how you can help.

This would help me because I plan on teaching history/government.

Hello! I chose this website because I think that it is important for children to know the past and present of our government.

I like this website because it explains that technology isn't something that know one knows how to use. Children are more tech savvy than most of the teachers because the kids have grown up using technology. In this day and time it is essential that students know how to work technology to get through school.

I chose Big6 Skills Overview so I can refer back to this website when I need to show my children/students how to safey research things. I also can see how to evulaute my students. 

This is a great research article written by Ben Whipple in 2006 who was a student at John Fisher University at the time the article was written. He conducted to see how much technology would either help or hinder a child in the educational setting. After his experiment, he concluded that the integration of technology in the classroom is important in that it helps children stay more focused on the topic being presented and allows for better visuals.
