This site is a great lesson for language arts because it has games to go along with the students learning. Several students these days are not interested in learning and partly because teachers use lecture too much. By incorporating games into their lesson plan, students will be engaged and eager to learn.

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).

I loved worksheets for math that let me color too. This site offers just that. These would be good to use as homework assignments.

I really like this website because of the amount of information available. The site provides links in plant groups and so it's easy to scroll down to the type of plant you need to know about.

Web 2.0 (1): This website is so neat! I have never seen anything like it. You can create your own Avatar (Voki) by choosing its appearance, adding your own voice, etc. Students can then add their Voki to a PowerPoint, share it with their classmates, etc. as part of a project or assignment. Students can share their knowledge about a topic by presenting it in a form of themselves without having to get up in front of the class and present. Teachers can use it, too, to share information. Very appealing to 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.

This website is handy for finding quick activities for children to do during free time. These activities could be used as fillers if a lesson gets done too early. They could also be used as activities during fall, winter, or spring parties.

This website has a lot of fun typing games. This could be used with an elementary technology class to introduce keyboarding skills. The games are free too, which also makes it more enjoyable. Students could play this at home as well!

This website is like twitter, but instead of having students enter with an email address, they enter with a school code. I think this is a great idea because it can be used to start understanding digital citizenship as they communicate with other students and teachers. I think there could be other uses too- like to keep in touch with students about important information.

This site provides an accessible tool for interactive projects. I chose this tool because its accessibility and its uses, which includes sharing files, folders, and Google Docs.

For this website it as a bunch of resources for teachers to use for curriculum resources, assessments, different type of tool to use and a lot more too. If I were a PE or Health teacher, I could use this to help with the curriculum, or assessments or the different resources it has available.

Looking through various collaboration tools I liked this one. just paste it is almost like a virtual word document that lets you insert videos and images, copying words and much more. It also has a automatic text back up so if a student accidently does not save or exits out then it will be saved with no worries.

Collaborative tools: I like this website because it allows you to share texts and documents with co-workers and other peers. All you have to do is type or paste your text in the space provided, save it, then sent the link to whoever you want to share it with. I think this would be very helpful with teachers in the same school and grade that might be too busy to have face-to-face meetings. This way everyone is kept up to date and in the loop.

Math (1): This website is for teachers, students, and parents. It is an online community meant to connect people to resources, answer questions, etc. about math topics. Students can get on the website and ask math questions, take quizzes, solve puzzles, etc. Parents can get on the site and find help for their student. Teachers can join forums and share lesson plans with other math professionals and sign up for conferences. The website sells study books for students, too. As a teacher, this would be a great resource to give to families who may have a student that is struggling in math or that doesn't find math very interesting, etc.

This website is not only for Social Studies, but it is also for all of the other subjects too. I like this, because for social studies, you can learn about the presidents, and other important political figures.

Have fun learning online with these cool science games. It's free and easy to use so just scroll down the page, find a game you like the look of and give it a go! I love this and as a teacher you could use this site to reinforce what you went over in class. This can be done in class if there is free time or this site can be given to the parents to put on their home computer, if possible.

I would use this site to do experiments that I may not have the utilities to actually do in real life. I chose this site because the experiments do look fun and are interactive.

This website is full of information and activities for students to do. There are other subjects beside science too, but the activities for science are very fun and interesting . I picked this site, because if you don't have money to but materials, you can act out the experiment from the simulation on the website. I would use this in my classroom as a whole group lesson to give them an example of what to do in a lab.

This is a good site for teachers to look up lesson plans and unit plans for their class. If you have a scholastic book that you want to cover, you can look it up and they provide you with a good plan for class.It provides good ideas and activities to help you teach.

This is a research based PE program website. This is a beneficial website that allows teachers and students to find out what is new out in the physical education world and different classroom activities too

I really think this website could be useful for students to use on their own time, or when we have class time too. It takes you to a several pages where students can read different books and then you can take a quiz over it and you will get a positive reinforcement like a prize on the computer if you get enough coins from taking the quiz. good opportunity for students to read and make sure they are comprehending what they are reading.
