This site offers students both a review of the in-class topics they'll explore in a typical Spanish course at the middle-high school level. There are also guided quizzes in which students practice the grammar skill. For incorrect responses, there is an explanation bar that pops up to explain the RIGHT answer.

This site open a door to students in our own community to explore topics related to the Latino experience both in the US and abroad. We attend yearly to explore the Day of the Dead (November) "altar" that has been meticulously set up for the public.

This website is an excellent source for people who have contact with individuals with special needs. It provides several tabs with different options. There are definitions, evaluations, and characteristics of individuals with special needs. There is information on how to help them academically, socially, emotionally, behaviorally, etc. There is also information on job tips to give these individuals and daily living skills to help with. I work with individuals with developmental disabilities and I find this website very helpful.

This site is loaded with free educational resources and was created to help with productivity and curriculum. These sources offer programs, websites, online activites, and even online tools. It is divided into 2 different sections: content and curriculum and productivity. The sources listed are also listed alphabetically for more easy navigation. The resources offered are for students who speak English as a first language, ESL students, and even students with learning disabilities. There are websites for all subjects, including building critical thinking skills and creative designing, photography, typing, learning symbols, etc. It also has many options for technology development and programs to use on the computer. This is a great site for sources!

This site is good for very young children and students who speak English as a second language. It has the options to learn the alphabet, numbers, movements, shapes, colors, foods, transportation, household words, and much more. With each of these words comes a pictures, a word, and a little video to click on to hear the correct pronunciation of the word. There is also a category for just random words and objects too. This site is good to teach toddlers and ESL students.

This website is the largest one-stop professional educational portal in Hong Kong. It is operated by the Hong Kong Education City Limited, a subsided company by the Hong Kong government. The portal incorporates information, teaching resources, interactive communities of teachers, and online services that are free to teachers. The main service of the site is to provide the use of information technology to improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning. The site is of great value not only to the Chinese teachers, but to all of the K-12 educators of other subjects. The website is constructed bilingually, so both Chinese and English users will find it easy to use.

A great place for Chinese teachers to share their teaching experiences and resources. It has a collection of professional blogs, forums, e-learning classes, training courses, and E-book stores. All of the information can be used to better learning and teaching Chinese. However, the website is constructed in Chinese. That means one will have to have some levels of Chinese reading to be able to browse through the site.

With a library more than 3,900 videos, Khan Academy is the place to learn almost anything, from arithmetic to physics, finance, and history and hundreds of skills to practice, you learn what you want, when you want, at your own pace. An awesome place for teachers, students and parents!

I used this site a lot when looking for useful music education websites. This site does not provide a lot of educational information. It does however give you a list of hundreds of sites that pertain to music education. All of the links I clicked on were great sites.

This site is a drumstick manufacturing company's site, but has some wonderful resources for music teachers. Everything on the site is free and provides a lot of percussion information in the form of videos and lesson material.

Perfect for English teachers who need fun/creative worksheets for ELL's. Ranging from pronunciation to grammar, there are even options for seasonal worksheets, to match with the month. Besides these, there are puzzle making links and a resources store. Basic tools for any ESL teacher!

The PBS website has a link dedicated to teachers. It has a variety of videos to enhance lessons. It also has lesson ideas for a variety of subjects and grades. It has resources for teachers from PreK to 12th grade.

I found this website through Internet4Classrooms. Classics for Kids is a great resource for the elementary music teacher. There are composer biographies, games, easy access to classical music and it is all very student and teacher friendly.

Classical music's great composers come to life through music and stories. This site has biographical information for composers and various music related games. It has interviews with professional musicians, opportunities to listen to music from each period, and a musical dictionary.

This is a fantastic site for educators, families of students and students alike. Technology is a vital global (in the developed areas) piece of education and technological literacy is a necessity. There are tools for how to incorporate technology in the classroom. A side-bar menu full of varied topics ranging from the broad rubric-creation site to the more specific ELL tools/tips.

Outstanding site! Too bad I didn't have this my first year. I'm bookmarking it and using anyway. It has how to incorporate technology into your classroom, grade specific activities, links to get science apps, blogs from other teachers. There's a lot of information on the page and many links to follow. If you're looking for ideas or want to revise your current methods whether classroom management or incorporating new techniques and/or technology this site would be a great place to start.

Great material to lead new concepts with. Have students build, test, then discuss the physics behind it. This will be my new fav next year.

This site has puzzles, games, activities, worksheets, and labs all about Biology and Chemistry. Great for new teachers.
