I liked this website because it offered professional development links and conventions. It also had classroom resources that ranged from K-12.

This offered some different ideas that could be used as fillers during down times in the classroom. The magic tricks would have to be adapted but it could work if the teacher was willing to take the time.

This site has information on many different science topics. Anything from fungus to the weather. Since this site has such a wide variety of subjects, this site would be used for many different lessons in a classroom. 

This is a good site for connecting with other teachers who use technology in their classrooms. 

I liked this website because the layout was clear and uncluttered. I could see exactly where I needed to go straight away. If I needed graphics or organizers for my classroom I would go here.

I thought this site was cool because it gives you many different language arts related activities/games you can use in your classroom. I also like that there is a section for teaching English as a second language. Having games available for English and Spanish speakers from the same site makes this site seem convenient

This website will be used in my future when I am ordering my equipment for my classroom. They have very valuable and educational equipment with bright colors to keep the students interested. When I am teacher I will use this often because you are always ordering and replacing equipment in physical education class.

Social Studies: I stumbled upon this website on accident, but really ended up liking it. It is a weebly website that contains many units for elementary classrooms. Within each unit are about 5 different lesson plans relating to the unit topic. I really like this website because it is very easy to navigate and you can search by grade or by topic. I would use this in my class to get lesson ideas and possible unit topics.

Language Arts: I think this website would be very helpful in my future classroom- especially if my school district uses McGraw-Hill books. This website contains both teacher resources along with student activities to be used in the classroom. There are worksheets and games designed specifically for the different aspects of language arts. Areas such as grammar, writing, prepositions, nouns, punctuations, etc are all included and provide easy to follow steps to help improve student learning.

This website is a great way for your students to read about positive health information that will help them stay healthy. It has different topics that are catergorized out into your body, your food, and etc. It also has a search button to go to exactly what you are looking for in health. I really like this website and would use it for my classrooms to help my students for a healthy lifestyle.

PLN (1): This website is a great resource to connect to other educational professionals. You can create an account and read blogs, attend free webinars on various educational topics (so cool!!), and it is completely free to join. I can see myself accessing this resource on a regular basis now, even before having my own classroom. This online community is simple to use and has received many awards for its content.

PLN (2): This website is a resource for teachers to use based upon their interests and passions. It is a way for educators to connect with one another, gain new and insightful tools to use in the classroom, and support other teachers. There is a forum where you can post questions, leave comments for other professionals, etc. This is a good place to make a personal connection with others in the same field as yourself. As a first year teacher, this would be a good place to gain added support needed to be successful.

Google Earth is a great resource to have in the classroom. It is the new map. It is interactive and would be very useful for students doing projects, researching different landmarks as well as different countries. It gives a glimpse at what the landscape looks like and can be zoomed in or out. However, it needs to be downloaded to be accessed.

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 is an overall interactive website. This website can be used for an subject and any grade level. This would be a website that I would use for my students when they had extra free time in the classroom so that they could stay busy but still be learning and using things that they have learned in the classroom. I also think students will enjoy this website because they have the freedom to do what they want to do and work on.

What I really like about this site is that it shows all different learning sites where students can click on a subject and get engaged in activities/games. Once students click on their subject, they can choose their own grade level. I like this especially for during free time.

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.

Internet for classroom website lays all the grades out. It is easily understood. All you have to do is click on the grade you are teaching to and then a ton of different things about science for that grade will come up. There are different units or topics you can chose from such as weather. When you chose weather it will bring up a ton of links that have to do with weather. These links include things like storms, clouds, games, and test.

This website has games for kids and resources for teachers. I could use this website to look for ideas for lesson plans.

This website gives you educational games that your students can use in the classroom. I would use this if a student was struggling or just a fun thing to do in class.

I love this website, because I am always looking for games that my students can play to get that hands on aspect. I picked this website because it lists many games, and tells you how to do them too. I will use this is the future to help put into my lessons.

PE: I chose this website because I think it is a great website for general education teachers looking to incorporate physical education in their classroom, like myself. There are specific PE lesson plans designed to use in the classroom, as well as warm ups and weekly challenges. I think all students would enjoy these activities!

I chose this website because it has everything that any PE teacher would need. They have warm-up, full lessons, and circuits. This would be useful for me in the future, because I may have to cover a gym class, or one of my students may ask me for help on this topic.
