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. :)

Love this site! It has all kinds of neat ideas on how to organize your class, save money, recycle, and all that good stuff. It's great just to look at so in the future, before you throw out that old coffee can, you already have ideas and ways you can use it to better organize and perfect your classroom.

I like this site becuase of how versitile it could be. You could look up any number of things about special education, like lessons, definitions, laws, responsibilites, etc. It's a great resource to have when you (and you will) have special ed. students in your class.

I like this site because it gives you a variety of options. I'd probably just use it as something to put on my class website and let kids and parents access it as they need it. I could also point it out to students if they weren't aware that they could get help there.

I love this site becuase so often, when we think about differentiating lessons, we think about the kids who are behind, not the ones who are ahead. Here you can find ways to enhance your own lessons, or, make all new lessons for them to work on when they have time. It's a great way to keep the gifted kids busy, challenged, and happy (as well as some over bearing parents of gifted students...).

I chose this site because of the number of things it introduces you to and shows you how to do. You could use it in a million ways. You could find games, lessons, how to make a class website, and a lot of other things that are only limited by your imaginaion and by your busy schedule.

I chose this site because of the specific topics. I could use it to have them practice for a quiz or a test, or, to make sure that they don't forget those skills or facts after a test is taken.

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 is a great site becuase this is a topic that I know I need help with and I'm sure others would as well. There is such a wide range of disabilites and with each disability comes an even wider range of students who react to that disability differently. It's so hard to be able to know what to do in a certain situation so that you know each student gets the help and support they need. This site is a great resource for adapted lessons and other ideas that will help you reach every student.

I chose this site because of the way it's organized. It's clean and it's simple. I would use it becuase it has a wide variety of lesson plans organized by grade. It also has lots of other things like graphic organizers, projects, managements techniques, etc. These things can be hard to come up with on your own and know they will work for your students. It's nice to get ideas, feedback, and insipration from teachers and tried and true projects and lessons.

I chose this site becuase it has so many ideas that can be adapted and formed to fit your specific class, kids, and needs. Talking about smoking with kids can be a touchy subject just because they may have family members or parents who smoke and you don't want to be seen as attacking them. This site gives you lots of ideas on how to approach the topic with students and teach them about the health risks or smoking.

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 chose this site becuase of the help and knowledge it can give to students who want to practice spelling, or are in a spelling bee. It'd be great to use because when you're in a spelling bee you know you have to study how to spell words... but what words?! This can give you lists and guidance as you practice.

I chose this site becuase you always need worksheets, and buying the books you get at workshops or online can be really expensive. This is a free way to get lots of worksheets without having to pay anything. I like to make monthly packets for kids with all kinds of puzzels, worksheets, word finds, etc., so when they are done with an independent lesson early, they can just pull that out and work quietly and not just sit there wondering what to do or disrupting anyone. These sheets are great for that. It could also be used in homework packets.

I chose this site, more than anything, becuase it's fun and it's games. I'd use this site as more of a reward or an educational time killer. Kids love to go to the computer lab and they love to play games. With this site you can also make sure that they are practicing math. You could also say that they have to play addition games, or fraction games, or whatever it is that you're studying in class to give them all the practice they can get.

Why I chose this site: I chose this site because social studies can often be a dry, boring, and uninteresting subject for kids. This site has lots of cool subjects and topics that can be relevant to kids. How I'm going to use this site: I could use this site in several ways. I could use it to talk about current events that are happening today or I could use it to teach kids about the past that we can longer experience first hand. This site could be used as a whole class, or, it could be used independently for research projects. It's nice too because it's kid focused so they wont run into topics, pictures, etc., that aren't kid friendly.

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.
