 * **Student name** || **Grade or Discipline** || **Links (include two)** || **Notes or Comments - Why did you find this useful?** ||
 * Ginny || School Counselor/ Grad class facilitator || @http://www.kellybear.com/TeacherTips.html

@http://www.schoolcounselor.com/ || Resource information for teachers and School Counselors to help them assist students.

School Counselor site for lesson plans, resources, technology tips, and a newsletter. ||
 * Peter || Arts Education || []

[] || Keeping the Arts in schools is always a concern especially in a down economy. I felt this is an important topic for arts educators to emphasize the importance of the arts in schools.

A great example of how to incorporate the arts into another curriculum. This specific example relates to science. ||
 * Julia P. || Social Studies || []

[] || This site has online activities for every discipline and era throughout the social sciences

VERY cool interactive site that allows students to plan the colony of Jamestown. Given choices, students can see if they can do better than the settlers. ||
 * Eric || Social Studies || Annenberg Biography of America

PBS Empires || This site provides key events, timelines, maps, links to more information, and more.

This is an amazing site that offers a unique look at empires in world history. ||
 * Wendy || Reading || []

[] || This site covers a broad range of English/Reading topics. My subject includes almost every subject area, because comprehension is the essence of learning. I have used Engrade in the past. Now it is much more inclusive with messaging for students/parents, homework calendar, online discussions, wikis, etc. || [|You Tube] || I thought these 2 sites would be beneficial to me since I teach physical education. I am in the process of creating a blog for fitness. Also, I have my kids create work-out routines. I though it would be great for kids to place their videos on youtube to share with their peers. I am slowly learnin how to incorporate technology effectively in physical education so kids do not lose movement time. || [|Science teacher] [|Great Idea Site] || I put three sites on the links becaues the two New York Scienc teacher sites go hand and hand. The one labled great idea site is a site that i have been using for years.... ||
 * Bridget || Physical Education || [|Blogs]
 * chuck || Earth Science || [|New York Learners]
 * Matt || Visual Art || [|Can a poem interpret a painting?]

[|talking about art] || I love this site and use it all the time the lesson plans are very detailed I haven't tried this yet but plan on it.

Another great project from PBS. I use trading cards at school but this lesson allows the students to demonstrate their knowledge in writing.. ||
 * Cristie || Cyberbullying

Information Literacy || [|Cyberbullying]

[|Jeopardy Development Team Project] || This lesson is a great introduction to the concept of Cyberbullying. I chose it to share with my middle school son because that is the topic of their weekly chapel.

I am doing a project on information literacy and this is a lesson on evaluating websites. ||
 * Patty || Study Skills

Reading Skills || [|Teach Me How to Study]

[|Reading Skills] || I chose this link from TeacherTube because it is a rap song about how to study. Kids will relate and I plan in using it in either my presentation or lesson plan. I will probably email the link to the students I supervise, as well.

This link is from BrainPop. I found it useful as well. Since I'm a business teacher and didn't see any resouces in this particular lesson, I choose study skills. ||
 * Michelle R || Literature

Blogging || [|CyberGuides 6-8]

[|Brainpop] || This site came from the Clearinghouse webpage. I love novels and teaching some of the standards using the novel. I would use this for my students with the book.

Brainpop has a great video on Blogging. Before getting the blog idea off the ground I would show this to my kids and parents so that they are aware of what our class will do. This will also help with my project. ||
 * Allison H. || Fourth Grade/ Social Studies || Lesson Plans and Teaching Strategies

Illuminations || The Social Studies site has a lot of ideas and links to resources for teaching. I really like that there are ideas for all grade levels. I have a group of advanced learners so I could access resources from various grade levels to help enrich those students.

Illuminations is a great site for math. There are tons of online math activities that students can do at home or in the computer lab for extra practice. There is also an extensive list of lesson plans and resources for specific skills and concepts. ||
 * Nicole W. || High School Science || [|Giffy]

[|Discovery Science] || Giffy is a great tool for students to be able to create lab drawings, charts, and graphs for lab reports. It could also be used for students to organize their notes or keep specific concepts organized.

Discovery is an awesome tool to use for lessons, videos, and current events. Often in Science you can adjust your teaching if something new has happened in the news or add it to your lesson to help the students make connections to the world around them. ||
 * LaShell G. || High School Math and Literature || []

[] || I liked these two links because the math site gave really good lesson plans about how to to apply math to real life situations, and the literature site gave good examples, some involving team building lessons, on how to apply them to the actual literature. || Business || []
 * Bob K || High School

[] || I found the gliffy site to be useful for my classroom. In my entrepreneurship class, I have students create floor plans for different types of businesses. We learn different techniques that retailers use in store design. This site allows you to download free software that allows you to create a floor plan. Also, this site can be used to create diagrams and flowcharts.

The other site that I found to be valuable is [|www.csun.edu] (a social studies site). This site has many links to pages for students in grades K-12 to access current events and lesson plans for teachers to teach current events. I have my Management students do a business related current event assignment each week. I feel this would be a great resource to use with my students. ||
 * John A || Science Education || []

[] || Great lesson on how to determine the best launching sites for rockets on the earth based on the rotational motion of the earth.

Teacher tube has many videos that can be used in class to demonstrate concepts in Physics. ||
