Social studies for kids grades K-5, and is a government run website which has information for kids about social studies and U.S. History

This is a good social studies website for teachers and students to use. It has many different tabs to view on the site. You can look at current events going on or even watch different videos, and it even has games.

Interactive social studies subjects and reviews which are available for different ages and subjects.

a. I chose this website because it looks entertaining maybe it's because I like social studies. b. I could use this to describe some major battles.

I choose this site because it has many Social Studies topics that include games or informational videos. This site can be used in my future classroom by having the students participate in the games to help them learn more about the history being discussed.

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.

Other: Education.com provides activities, worksheets, videos, expert advice and a school directory to give parents information and ideas to help kids reach their full potential and make learning fun. It contains resources and materials for all age groups, baby through high school.

Collaborative tools: Crocodoc converts Microsoft Office and PDF documents to HTML5 so users can view them right in their web app. I think this would be great for teachers to share their documents with parents. Parents would be able to see exactly what their students are working on and can then use that to give them extra help at home.

PE: I chose this website because I think it is a great website for general education teachers looking to incorporate physical education in their classroom, like myself. There are specific PE lesson plans designed to use in the classroom, as well as warm ups and weekly challenges. I think all students would enjoy these activities!

I chose this website because it has everything that any PE teacher would need. They have warm-up, full lessons, and circuits. This would be useful for me in the future, because I may have to cover a gym class, or one of my students may ask me for help on this topic.

PE: I really enjoyed looking through this website. There are so many lesson plans for physical education for all grades. I liked that the website divided the lesson plans among elementary, middle, and high school. Even though I am not going to be a physical education teacher, I think there are many lessons I could adapt and use in my classroom to get my students up and moving.

This website provides physical education lesson plans. I could use this site to help me with my lesson plans.

Health: This is a great website for finding health lesson plans for grades preK- 5. These lessons range in all areas of health and use different strategies to teach the subjects. They have great game ideas listed and that would be a fun way to get students involved and interested in health.

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.

social studies for kids is a great website for teachers to have. it helps students and teachers both at the same time. this could be used as a classroom learning tool or a helping tool for kids at home.

This allows students to play different games, look at current events and get to low Social Studies a little better. Good website for students K-5

I chose this website, because social students has always been a tough topic for me, so this is a good way to learn new information as well as fun facts. This website would be good to use for indivial projects on different states, and also to learn about them, and where they are on the map too.

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.

Science (2): This is an awesome website for Science in the classroom. It is a great resource for students because it is eye-catching and contains a lot of "Why?" information that students find interesting and engaging. There are relevant news articles on a variety of topics. photos, book suggestions, interactives, and resources for teachers. This would be a great supplemental tool for teachers to use in the classroom.

A majority of them cover topics for elementary-aged students; however, there is a section for high school science as well. There are multiple-choice quizzes that can be printed that teachers could use as an assessment tool to test a student's knowledge before a subject is taught, etc. It is user-friendly and contains a lot of material for teachers to use.

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.

Social Studies (2): This website contains free learning and teaching resources from Federal Agencies which makes it a credible resource for teachers and students to use. It covers a variety of history/social studies topics: government, famous people, movements, states/regions, world studies, wars, etc. There are photos, videos, documents, and other important resources about the topics that are linked to each subject. As a teacher, this resource could be used as links in PowerPoints, embedded in Prezis, or as a tool for students to use in the classroom.

Math (2): This website is sponsored by Sylvan which specializes in tutoring services for students. On this website, there is a free version where students can watch free math videos covering many concepts, take free practice tests, receive practice problems, etc. There is also a version that can be purchased which provides more in-depth help for students--750+ videos, e-textbooks, step-by-step problem solving help, etc. This website can be used by students or parents who are trying to help their students with homework.
