"Complement classroom instruction and engage students in online activities, assignments and discussions that allow for deeper participation inside and outside the classroom". This website is a great platform for having another form of communication with students and families. I could see myself using this website as a tool to stay connected with parents where important links, documents and other information could be posted. Depending on the grade level, I could also use this to have students post their work to.

I chose this tool because I first heard about it at Eisenhower and how beneficial it is when you are a teacher. You are able to store lesson plans in this website and share them with fellow teachers. It helps keep you organized and makes it easy to pick the curriculum that you use. I would use this to help store my lessons in and to look back and change if need be.

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.

I could definitely see myself using this website in my first years of teaching and beyond it. The resources and tools that are offered by this website are huge and can be use by teachers for all grade levels. There are student activities, lesson plans, and books that can help teachers both inside the classroom and outside of the classroom.

This website is full of different tips and games for students to play who are interested in their health and their physical condition. There are quizzes to take to test their knowledge about health and other things. There are also tips on how to stay healthy and how to stay in shape. This is a great website for students who are interested in health and physical education.

This site is all about being active and eating healthy. Students can learn more about eating healthy or more about how the body works. This is a great way to incorporate technology into P.E. class. Students may like to explore this website at home or during a study hall if you give them homework. Amber Koth

A website for kids and their parents to learn more about health, fitness and nutrition through fun games, recipes and articles. This website could be more for the home, but I would modify it for the classroom. One example was a game called Scavenger Hunt, and the students would have to find objects placed around the room in so much time. You might have some safety issues with this game, but I could make it work.

I personally have never liked math and with this website i found it has art activites for a math lesson. It incorporates both the left and right brain thinking. Math is sometimes a struggle to teach and to get the students to like so the activities that is talks about such as "designing a quilt pattern" or math and recipes adds a fun edgy side to math that would get the students to have fun with math and they dont even realize it.

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.

Interactive social studies subjects and reviews which are available for different ages and subjects.

a. I chose this website because it looks entertaining maybe it's because I like social studies. b. I could use this to describe some major battles.

I choose this site because it has many Social Studies topics that include games or informational videos. This site can be used in my future classroom by having the students participate in the games to help them learn more about the history being discussed.

This website is another one in which students can easily share ideas with other teachers in many different ways. The resources that are offered are easy for teachers to use and informative for teachers to incorporate in their own classrooms. There is a variety of lesson plans and classroom activities that are easy to adapt to multiple classrooms and for different grade levels. It is key for teachers to interact with each other and talk about ideas that others may not think of first hand.

I chose this website because it tells the reader wither it is a site for teachers, if it shows a power point, a quiz, etc. This site has many different resources for teachers to use in the classroom. I can use this site in the classroom, since it has worksheets and an alphabet book on the site for me to use with my future class. This site also has sheets that help with letter writing which will come in handy when working with Kindergarteners.

This website is amazing and It has over 60 links. There are links to games that could be played for sentencing, wordplay, a letter generator, idoms (a concetration style game) and many more. There are also links to printable handouts and posters. Free books to print and even online short stories as well as tests children can take to assess their reading levels. This website has it all.

This is a popular website for beginner readers. My kindergartner really enjoys this website and the interactive reading sites are simple and straightforward and allow her to navigate them easily, on her own. 

Starfall is a great website to use if your school has not implemented phonics into their curriculum. The site is interactive and geared towards younger children first learning to read. It starts at the very beginning and works its way through the alphabet, learning to read, and different levels of reading. However, I feel this website could also be used for ELL learners.

I have used this site before, as have many of us have. Weebly is a great way for teachers to inform students and parents about their classroom. They can put a list of assignments, important dates, as well as a list of rules, consequences, and resources for students and parents to use. They can include links as well as a place where parents can connect and ask questions.

This website provides a number of different collections for students and teachers. The website provides activities/games for students to participate in and get a feel of what it would be like in person. The website also gives students and teachers virtual artifacts for projects. I would use this in my classroom for students who struggle to find good artifacts for their projects. It is important to have reliable resources.

This website would be good to use for math. It provides teachers with printable worksheets and flashcards. It is setup by grade level from kindergarten to 12 grade. I will use this website to create flashcards and print off worksheets.

This website is great for math. They have worksheets for students to work on and they also have flash cards that you can use. This would be great to tell parents about so they can use it at home with their kids.

Interactive free math worksheets, math games, math flashcards, homework helper, and more! This website targets a variety of math topics and grades. I would have the students use this for math fluency.

I have heard of edmodo being used in the classrooms, and I think it is a great way for parents, students, and teachers to connect. Teachers can notify parents about upcoming tests and projects so they can give their students a little extra push to finish a project or study for a big test they have the next week.

Edmodo is a popular site for teachers and students. Its setup is similar to Facebook so that the students and teachers are well familiarized with the functions. This website is great for teachers and students to communicate in a virtual classroom kind of way.

I chose this site because it helps teachers to manage a digital classroom. I would use this site to schedule quizzes, manage progress, and assign homework so students and parents could keep up on expectations and schedules.

For this website you can chose between U.S. History, world history, geography, economics, civic and government, and elementary social studies. There are different resources like videos, interactive lessons, lesson plans, and so many others, and you can filter by what grade level you are teaching. How I would use this in my classroom is, I can use the lesson plans, pull videos, or use any interactive lessons.

This is another Language Arts site. I chose this site because it is alot like scramble. I got addicted and was rushing to score points because I am really competitive and don't like to lose. In the beginning, they give you a list of letters and you have to scramble them to come up with a word. Based off of the difficulty of the word you came up with, you will be assigned points and there is a goal for you to reach at the bottom right corner. If you reach that score's goal then you proceed onto the next level. This game rocks!

This website is very helpful for social studies lessons. There are many mini lessons to choose from for every grade and lessons on geography, the government and american history. I enjot hand on activities in lessons and a few of the lessons suggestions include making a play doh map of your state or making maps. There are also instructional lessons like how to read a map or lessons on current events. This would be very helpful for an older grade level and to get more in depth on what is going on today.

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!

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.
