This webiste is awesome and very helpful for not only art activites but anything. I love doing art projects and having hands on experiences for children and this website gives the teacher millions of creative ides for the kids to create in class using all different mediums and styles that are great for any age!

This website is awesome for a teacher who has a smart board in their classroom. Incorporating technology whenever possible is always fun. Kids today are very technologically advanced and love any chance to play with it. There are lessons anywhere from holidays to music and science.

this website provides a variety of lessons for physical education. Not all kids enjoy PE and hate running but this website includes lessons such as steal the flag football, rhythm sticks, cooperative handball and many more. One lesson that stuck out to me was "Juast a minute" where the coach/ teacher reads a book just a minute and they discuss how long a minute is and have the kids close their eyes and put heads down for a minute. (which is hard for younger kids) Then they discuss if their body is healthy they should be able to do any activity for a minute wihtout stopping. This was interesting, the teacher could create any activity for them to do for a minute which is very creative.

This website is good for kids of all ages. A lot of kids go through a phase where they do not want to brush their teeth and this website is good for grades 2 and up to show the importance of brushing your teeth. There are links that talk about cavities, braces, prevention, cutting out sugar and a video visiting a dentist. There is also a link to "take the challenge" which would be fun for the class to do together.

this website is directed to the teacher to help them shake it up. sometimes lessons can become flat and it is important to always have it interative and interesting for the students. Seveloping a creative lesson plan is important and MiriamDiamond gives us 5 points to plan one. When I am stuck in a rut and need to think of soemthing more fun for the kids I would come to this website to reenergize my thinking and help me move past same old same old.

again, this website lists and shows images of different things teachers have done in their classroom. It would benefit any teacher to scroll through the images of the different things that can be done in a classroom and use those ideas. having an inviting classroom is important and they have very cute ideas for bulletin boards to the layout. It would greatly help any teacher come up with creative things to do to their classroom.

This website is helpful because it lists a wide variety of tools for the web that the teacher and student can both use. it is as easy as scrolling down the page and reading a breif description of what that website does. It would be quick for a teacher to realize if that website/tool would best work for them or not.

As a teacher there are going to be lessons that are more directed to teaching the students a particular topic but it may not be very interesting. This website has creative lesson plans that are out of the box and get the students involved in learning through experiments and play. These lessons would be great to do after a long lesson on something that may be difficult for students.

Looking through various collaboration tools I liked this one. just paste it is almost like a virtual word document that lets you insert videos and images, copying words and much more. It also has a automatic text back up so if a student accidently does not save or exits out then it will be saved with no worries.

Collaborative tools: I like this website because it allows you to share texts and documents with co-workers and other peers. All you have to do is type or paste your text in the space provided, save it, then sent the link to whoever you want to share it with. I think this would be very helpful with teachers in the same school and grade that might be too busy to have face-to-face meetings. This way everyone is kept up to date and in the loop.

I am an animal lover and this discussion board between teachers would help them figure out what type of animal they would want as a class pet. They discuss what worked in their class and what didnt and helps save the time for a teacher on what they want to pick!

This website is perfect for incorporating technology in the classroom. It has many link and previews of collaboration tools a teacher and student could use. There is anything from free online chats, online corkboard for assignments and notes to students. I liked Primary wall which lets the students and teacher leave noted for eachother in real tim which is helpful for both.

This site presents an in-depth timelines of President Abraham Lincoln. I chose this site because it would be useful for a history class wrapped around 19th century. History teachers can use this as a helpful tool when discussing the Civil War (i.e., it includes links to Civil War information).

Since geometry can be a troubling course, it useful for teachers to intertwine lighthearted fun into the instruction. I chose this site because it provides an array of games. Furthermore, teachers can use this site's multitude of games as assessment tools.

After being instructed, students loved to be tested--not necessarily a summative assessment. I picked this site because it presents some interesting educational games. This would be helpful for teachers because it provides short games/quizzes, which serve as fun evaluators for understanding concepts.

Although the period table is overwhelming, it's manageable to learn if broken down. I chose this site because it made a game out of knowing the elements. As a teacher, this site can be used as an introduction and fun evaluator-game for students (it includes significant distinctions for each, too).

Before a teacher goes into the first day of school, it's beneficial to have a layout plan. I chose this site because it implements a classroom floor plan. This allows you to be the architect of your classroom, i.e., objects can be dragged across the grid.

Although P.E. appears simple, the subject is very important for kids and their development. I chose this site because it breaks down several key ideas, and it covers all angles. Teachers can use this as an excellent reference for implementing games into the lesson, i.e., it includes a list games, roles for instructors, tips, and purpose.

This site includes several sources in the form of articles. I chose this site because it's organized style is inviting to all levels of P.E. teaching. Teachers can use the articles, which go in-depth with activities or ideas for teaching, to better structure their instruction.

This site not only includes written-up advice, but it includes video examples. I chose this site because it gave thorough explanations over interactive games/assessments. P.E. teachers can use this as a honey-hole for ideas to implement in the classroom--wherever it may be.

Games make a big difference in getting students to like math. I picked this site because it included several interactive games. Also, teachers can use the multitude of games as a good assessing tool.
