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.

I chose this site because it has a wide variety of topics and different kinds of sites. I would use this more as a fun or laid back kind of activity (like if you need to use up a day inbetween units or right before a holiday break). The kids could find a game or site that interested them and just crusie around. Or, to make it a little more involved, they could find 15-20 facts that they find interesting that they never knew before.

This websire is a great way to get student involved and excited about science! it is motly for older students. there are links to to an "electronic zoo" which then has a bunch of links to lessons on alot of animals in the animla kingdom made by teahers and students to be interactive and interdisciplinary. There is also a website link that would be perfect for students who are truely interested in science and teaches them about how math is integrated in science. There are also links to games that kids can classify critteres and a dust explorations.

Is a way for collobarative learning and can show main points along with ideas. Is a good way to get information out in front of people.

This is a very good sharing site. Teachers can write documents and share with their peers. This could be useful to share lesson plans and activites.

Helium is a social studies website. It goes in to a great deal of detail on American history, geography, current events, Native Americans, civil war, government and much more. It also gives you other websites to go to where you are able to find mini lessons on a president or resources related to social studies.

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 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.

Apples for teachers is more then just a website it helps keep the teacher informed on all the new resources available for their students. This website is for teacher that teaches all grade levels in elementary. This site has fun activities do to with their students. It also haves new articles related to education, stories and research available to them by this site.

I chose this site because of the unique topics they have. Things like Groundhogs Day, and Chinese New Years, which may fit perfectly into your lesson, but, may be hard to find material on. This site is also neat because it has games you can have the students play, or it has things like coloring pages that you can print out (which may work better if you don't have access to enough computers for all your students to play on at once).

This would be a good website for teachers to find different ideas for lessons. It offers multiple links to other sites that contain grammar and vocabulary work.

I love that this site gives a list of different science experiments that are sure to grab students' attention. This site could be used in class if an experiment fits into the lesson plan or maybe even as a special activity they can do for good behavior/no late assignments/whatever.

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. 

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.

Health: This would be a very useful website to use as an educator. There are suggestions on how to design your health curriculum, ways to assess students, and strategies to enhance instruction. I would use this website because there is a lot I don't know about health and this would be a great place to get lesson ideas.

Choice (2): This is a great website for English/Language Arts teachers, K-12. It contains many topics to choose from with links to outside resources as well. There are study guides and other materials for students. There are also professional resources. Teachers can sign up for a free newsletter that contains information in the topic of English education. This website is linked in closely with Twitter and Facebook which can be appealing to 21st century teachers and students. I could get lost in this website because it contains some wonderful lesson ideas for students.

Choice (1): As an English/Secondary Education major, I use this website to read journal articles and look at relevant topics in the field of literacy, English studies, and Language Arts. This website contains a ton of information including lesson plans, activities, etc. You can become a member of the NCTE and connect in other ways if interested. There are professional development opportunities (conferences, etc.) that are available, too. You can sign up for email newsletters and updates which contain new information in this field.

Physical Education (2): This website contains teaching materials to use in the classroom as well as valuable resources for teachers on a variety of topics in order to research new trends, etc. There are journal articles, lesson plans, worksheets to use with students, etc. This website is geared towards teachers and administrators. As a teacher, this would be a great place to find access to new and relevant information for the classroom.

Social Studies (1): This is a great website that can be used to gain lesson plan ideas. It is separated by grade level, topic, and how many class periods a teacher wants to spend on a certain subject. There are 400 social studies/history topics to choose from including both American and world history. Teachers can print off worksheets for students, get activity ideas, etc. It is very user-friendly and contains a ton of information. It is a government-funded website, so it is currently not being maintained due to funding shutdowns; however, a lot of the topics are still useful and relevant because the information will never be outdated.

This could be used throughout an entire semester in a classroom. Students can create an account and the teacher can either utilize it as a tool in the classroom or as an incentive of outside practice. Rather than assigning homework the teacher could have the students complete a lesson Working and completing all sections on this website could also be used as an incentive, those students who finish by the end of the year win a prize of some sort.

This is a site that offers animated videos to help explain science topics for many different levels. Its fun and interactive for any student. Teachers can use this as a tool for students to go on and watch the videos to learn and have fun. I remember using this in high school and thinking even grade school students would be able to understand the information. It can be used for other subjects also, like health and social studies.

BrainPop is extremely useful for all teachers, and I think should be completely utilized. All subjects are present, and students can learn and explore a variety of topics. However, teachers can utilize lesson plans, standards, and create homework assignments on the website. Truly a great site to add to a PLN.

I love this site because of the VAST amount of information on it! It can be so hard to know when doing something like P.E. what to do to teach the skill and then, with such a wide range of skills and abilities, how to assess the skills you've taught. This give you ideas for lessons, bulletin boards, assessments, adapted P.E., and so much more.

I love PE central as it has different lesson plans and quizzes and ideas that pe teachers came up with and uploaded for others to use. I also, like it because if i came up with a game that worked and students loved i can upload it and other teachers can use it for their class.

This website has 16 websites that every teacher should know about. I think that this is awesome because they cover lots of different subject areas and are known to have helped other teachers with lessons.
