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 online journal helps PE teachers keep lessons fun, get kids fit, and has a lot of ideas to help teachers improve techniques. It is a current, up-to-date publication intended for teachers.

I chose this website because you are able to stay in contact with parents and teachers. You are able to add grades, post discussion boards between student and teacher, or teacher and parents, able to add a calendar so students are updated for homework and tests, mailing lists for parents, and lastly, it is free! This would help with communicating between parents and starting a positive relationship with them to keep them informed with school work and any changes that have been made.

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 love space, so I just HAD to include NASA's website. NASA provides a photo of the day, updates on where different spacecraft is, and more. They also have a TV channel that streams various videos about space. It also has a section for educators and a section for teachers. Under the educational tab, there are tools to help find lesson plans, posters, guides, and more. It provides subject/topic specific videos and other info as well.

XPrize-Community-building and collaboration are two defining aspects of Web 2.0. A range of tools enable teachers and students to communicate, collaborate and share work. Some, like Edmodo, are designed specifically for educators. This Twitter-like tool lets you create custom mini-communities for classes, clubs, parents, etc and push out assignments, reminders and updates. Others, like GoogleDocs, are for general use but conducive to inter- and intra-school collaboration-in real time. All are easy to use. Case in point: a wiki-the Hawaiian word for "quick"-can be set up in 5 minutes! According to the website.

I chose this site because it provides a lot of useful information for teachers about issues in language arts concerning students pre-k through eighth grade. I would use this source to stay informed and updated on issues students are struggling with so I can alter my lesson plan to fit their needs.

This website offers hundreds of PE lessons and is updated regularly. It offers assessments, adaptations, gaming, and many other things. It would be a cool site if I was a physical education major.

PE Central is a web site that provides information about developmentatally appropriate physical education practices and programs. Great for all ages and grade levels.

I choose this site because it gives you ideas of how to assess a gym class This site can be used in my future classroom by knowing what my students get to do in gym class to release most energy.
