Has many different subject areas in math set up as games, practice problems, and even dictionaries. Seems to be set up for students in middle school. Very colorful and active.

I feel like this website would catch student's attention very well because of the different colors. This website is also very well organized into sections and it is easy to find exactly what you want, whether it is puzzles, games, or just homework help. This website also has everything from "math 4 kids" to precalc and calc. This could be a very easy thing to students to use at home as well as in class, if computers are available.

I choose this site because it is a notes website for when a student is stuck on a lesson. This site can be used in my future classroom by supplying it to my students and their parents for when they need to look at more notes.

This is a Science site. I chose this because of the many ways you could approach your lesson plan on Science. This doesn't have any games for the students to play on here, but it does have activities to go along with the teachers instruction about any of the 8 topics listed here. If you were doing a lesson on snow. Click on the link that says, Let It Snow and it is for the 5th-10th grade level. Whats cool about the snow link is it gives pictures of how devastating snow storms can be for the streets and cars driving on them.

I choose this site because it gives you 4 different warm up ideas and 4 different cool down ideas for Elementary students. This site can be used in my future classroom by conducting one activity that is classroom safe that will wake the students up before starting the day.

I chose this website because it focuses on five main areas of science for elementary education. Such as, astronomy, earth science, life science, physical science, and technology. Each area goes further in depth about topics and includes apps and game for students to play. I would use this website if we were studying any of these five science areas.

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

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.

This website is cool because it has different articles every day related to science. It is current news around the world. You can watch videos and read articles.

Just as the URL defines it, these math games are cool. They are extremely interactive and give students a sense of reality while gaming. I would use this as a reward for a good week's class.

I love this website! It has plenty of math games and encompasses multiple grade levels and abilities. It has cool graphics and makes math a little more fun than normal. This is good for students in the classroom and at home.

This website offers a lot of cool technology lessons for teachers that were also created by teachers. Since they were created by teachers, it is very likely that they have been tested and work pretty well. This would be a great place to look for lesson plan ideas.

I picked this site because I remember using it in elementary school and middle school, and remember how much it helped me with math. This site has many different math games for students to use. This site also has a teacher page as well as a parent's page. I can use this in my future class because it is a different way to learn math. Students can play games that can help them add or subtract, if they are having problems with it. I would also use this site since it has different ways to motivate students when it comes to math.

I have mentioned this site before and I will mention it again. I think Cool Math is an awesome resource. It has typical math games you'd expect, such as simple addition and subtraction activities. However, it also has games that incorporate other skills as well. Some of these games really, really play on your critical thinking skills. Students can learn business strategies, complex math strategies, understand dimensions and time, and even math terms. Even as a person that totally hates math, I appreciate this website very much. I remember loving it when I was in K-12.

Funbrain is another site similar to Cool Math. It has a wide array of games that students can play. These games are in arcade style for the most part, which I think students probably really like. Another cool part of this website is that there is a "For Teachers" section. It has tools that make it easy for teachers to find a game that relates to what they're teaching. It also helps you find activities based on different standards and grade levels. Funbrain also provides flashcards that they allow you to print for free so you can use them in your class.

This site is cool because it gives you applications to use for the interactive white board! Kids love being able to participate in class and using the smart board is a great way to do it. I would use this for Language Arts related lessons.

I chose Cool Math Games because I thought it is a good opportunity to use math in fun games they wouldn't mind playing. In a future classroom, I think this is a great thing to use as a brain break during the day.

This site would be fun for kids to browse because you can look up facts, experiments, projects, do quizzes, and play games. This site could be used in class if you wanted children to look through the site and pick out facts that interest them or if they are researching something.

This website has a lot of great interactive ideas for the classroom. I could use this site for experiment ideas to do with my class.

I choose this site because it is a great site for students who want or need help with understanding science. This site can be used in my future classroom by having this website be one which students can look it up at home and watch or do lessons on science.

This website has many different things that may come in handy what it comes to teacher math to elementary age students. This website has math lessons for teachers, practice problems and activities for students, math games, and it also has a dictionary. I found the dictionary to be the most important part of this website. I feel that it places the definition in terms so the students are better able to understand.

This a cool site that offers information on nutrition and exercise. It gives you resources and articles to do your own research on if you want to know more. There are brain teasers and games so you can have fun with the information. I liked how it showed the food organization in a different light and shows that they want to make money. I would use this in a health class for any age group. I think it would be a great resource.

This is a cool tool for students to create comics with and educational emphasis. the student can go on and practice their skills in any subject. They can learn to collaborate with others and learn how to tell a story. I think this is a good tool to help stop distractions from the digital world. Also, teachers can add students and oversee what they do.

I decided to use this as my Web 2.0 site. I wish I would have found this site earlier on my search. This site is amazing at the amount of subjects and just cool stuff to look at. If I was to do a Math lesson, then there are some fun games for that. There are also: english, science, puzzles, kid stories, arts and crafts, videos, and even experiements. I especially like this site due to the fact that it has a math section.

This is a great site to go to for educational games. It has hundreds of games for all grade levels and all subjects. This site could be used for free time, and the student could choose the subject and game.
