Reviews:

1. [|ToonDoo:] I like this website because it shows pages that are most viewed, most Argued, most redone ect. The reason this is my favorite feature is because it helps generate ideas for students and could show students what to do, and what not to do.

2.[| Cartoon Generators:] Even though I like ToonDoo, this website is easier to use for first times users, or people who are not as experienced. The website is easy to use and I feel that younger children could use this easier than the ToonDoo from first glance. Obviously ToonDoo I feel you have more options than this one.

3. [|Comiqs:] Okay, I love this one! I like that this is a cartoon website but it can be real life pictures, but you can change them to "cartoon like" and it can be black or white, color ect. I think I would use this website with when I was teaching a play or story and have the students create a short play or story of their own. But I would use any of the first three - however this one caught my eye.

4. [|Virtual Tours:] This website would be perfect for viewing so many things for teaching English! Say that I am teaching something about Shakespear or anything that has history - with this website for example; you could show the students exactly what you mean by "Ancient stones of Scotland." The possiblites are endless! Two thumbs up for this one!

5. [|Build a Fish:] I really enjoy fish personally, I feel like I myself could learn a lot from this website. I don't think I will be teaching about fish, but I will be visiting this website again for myself :) I also like how this website shows a link for lesson plans.

6. [|Cable in the classroom:] This website can be very educational and very useful when talking about recent current events. You could log on to this website and then put it on the overhead screen and be watching TV in the classroom. I know that this may seem very simple to some but it is finally just clicking for me - that this can be very very beneficial! Love it!

7. [|Teacher Tube:] I feel that teacher tube will be very helpful in my classroom. I think that students can really relate to current videos about historic things. A video can really bring a conversation or a story to life and generate a great discussion. I do hope that whatever district I get a chance to be a part of that Teacher Tube is not blocked because this is truly beneficial.

8. [|Poll Everywhere:] I was amazed at not only what this website can do but how you can link it to any page you want. (I am sure you can do that with many websites.) I like how Ben's efolio was linked to a survey that his students took. Not only does that show his skills on technology in the classroom but it shows that he is proactive about continous improvement in his profession - I love that! I would like to something similar to that when I am done student teachering. So many possibilies.

9. [|CNN Kids:] This is a perfect website for kids to relate to recent events and bring them into the classroom. I do think that it is important for students to talk about recent current events and if you watch this daily or once a week it lets students think critically and apply what they learned to their own lives. It is a safe way to expose students to what you want about the world and guide the conversation in constructive way. Very useful.

10. [|Discovery Education:] This website is set up very user friendly. I like how the tabs up top have links to classroom resources and professional development. Honestly, these links make it less intimidating to click around in throughout the website and user friendly. The resources are not only easy to read but the conent of them is great! I definilty will use this link in my delicious site so that I keep up on what is currently posted.
