All kids love the chance to get on the computer but it is important that we give them games to play that they will also learn from. This website has over 100 games for each grade level that kids will love and not think of it as doing math. there is a wide variety of choices and is a great place to send kids to.

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.

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).

Educational computer games that introduce kids to key ideas in media and digital literacy. This would be useful in lesson plans hat involve digital age literacy, it helps students learn while they are having fun.

This website has great tips on ways to improve math skills. Teachers and students can both utilize this website to improve skills and tell others how to improve their skills. The tips are very easily laid out for people to read and it explains the information is a very simple way. These tricks can be useful for all age groups. Whether students are learning these things for the first time or older students need to brush up on their skills, this website portrays math as a very conquerable task.

This website would be very helpful for any teacher. The online language arts games give students an excuse to be on the computer, which they enjoy, and still be learning new content. Also, because the website has games for all grade levels, teachers can alter what games students should be playing based on their individual level. These games would be very easy to work into a lesson plan

This website would be helpful for teachers to review. This journal is all about teachers sharing their own stories and offering advice to other teachers. It is good for teachers to work together because you can learn great things from other teachers. Getting opinions on situations is also helpful because sometimes the answer is right in front of you and you just can't think of it.

Interactive social studies site

Educational games/activities.

I like that this site can be used for all different grade levels. I also like that if need you can "ask an expert." If I were to use this in a class room I think it would be helpful for researching states due to its "State Facts" section. I also think it would be fun to look at the section "This Day in History" daily to learn something new each day!

I see things on this site all the time that I want to make or create to put in my classroom. It has endless supplies of idea and things you can do yourself. Things from organizational tools to just fun decorations for the classroom... I know personally, I always like the classes that had fun stuff on the walls. Made it more fun to be there and more fun to learn. :)

I chose this site because it's live action and really interesting for students. I've used this site for students in relation to science courses before. We were doing a habitat/wildlife unit in science, and we would watch the eagles (and at the time their eggs and then babies) and talk about their habitat and patterns in relation to what we were learning. It made our lessons relevant to them and another living thing which is SO important to do with students.

This website is good for kids as well as their parents. Shows many techniques on learning math as well as teaching. Can be used for all ages.

This website seems fun for students learning about the different countries and their location. It tests the student in a timely matter to identify specific countries.

This science website is packed full of information. It has links for all different types of science from chemistry to earth science. Something that I found very important is it have video clips with worksheets for all departments in science, lab ideas and lesson plans on how to teacher the lab to the class, images and photos, and games that can be played by the students as a way of reviewing and learning about the topic.

This site provides articles, resources and videos to help teachers learn about new tools to use in the classroom. I would probably use this site by picking out a new resource here and there and t esting it out in the classroom

Interactive learning Sites for the Classroom. This site gives you games and resources for K-5 education. It is very interactive and will help for learning concepts. The games are fun and offeres a wide variety of subjects. I would high recommend this to teachers to show to students so they can practice while having fun.

Math: I chose this website because I think it would a great tool to use as a reward for students. They can play online games while still working on their math skills. They can be rewarded with computer time and playing games, but still get something educational out of it. These games work on geometry skills, basic addition/subtraction, angles, fractions, etc. Students can incorporate technology into their learning without even realizing they are learning! They will just think they are playing fun games while actually they are fine tuning their mathematic skills.

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.

reading games. this help kids to learn about new things and at the same time this website makes reading fun.

This is a great way to interact kids with reading.
