1. What did I learn?
The website that I visited this week is www.pbs.org, and it was very interesting and informative. I found that there was a section for parents, children, and teachers. I really thought that was a good idea because each one focuses on the specific audience. In the parent section I found that there is a lot of ideas and activities that parents can do with their children. There is also a blog where parents can post their ideas. In the children section there is a section where they can prescribe to play learning games according to their age and level. Finally in the teachers section I found that there is teacher dicussions, professional development, blogs, and different ideas for teachers to use in the classroom. I definately found this website useful for not only teachers but also parents and students, I think that it is very imformative and it allows for ideas to be expressed and new ideas to be learned. I think that this website is very useful for me now that I' am a parent and i know it will be useful also when I become a teacher.
2. What else do I want to learn?
I would like to learn more about second life and how it works because i think it is very interesting to be able to communicate with people around the world. I also think it is awesome to be able to learn and travel to different time periods.

1. What did I learn?
This week I decided to go to the website http://www.teacher.scholastic.com and i definately like what I saw. There are a lot of different things that teachers and students can do in that website. For example for teachers, there are ideas for lesson plans, tips of how to have a better classroom, printables, you can even stay up to date with news. On the other hand for children there are a lot of different games that they can play where they can learn their, sounds, how to read, and to be creative in writing. I really enjoyed this website and I know for sure I will use it, I also plan to introduce it to my 5 year old because im sure he will enjoy it, have fun, and learn as well.
2. What else do I want to learn?
In class I would really like to learn more of how to create my own games so I can help my students learn. For example instead of making a game just to play I want to make a game about addition or subtraction, I think that will be fun and rewarding.

1. What did I learn?
The website that I visited this week is www.starfall.com, and for me its been one of the best websites I have learned about yet. First of all what I liked about it is that it is very child friendly, its colorful and easy for an adult and child to use. Through this website children can learn how to write sentences, read a book, learn their ABC's as well as how to do sign sign language. As I was exploring this website I learned that learning can be made fun to children, for example instead of just doing worksheets in the classroom I can have my students get on to this website and they can learn while at the same time have fun. I have a 5 year old boy and he loved this website as well, he always tells me "mom can I get in the computer so that I can learn"? To me it feels great that I can have him be on this website and I know that he is learning and enjoying himself.
2. What else do I want to learn?
What I would like to learn about more is different websites where teachers can go to get ideas to make learning more fun and enjoyable for students, instead of just having worksheet after worksheet all the time.

1. What did I learn?
The website that I went into was http://www.education-world.com/. I found this website very useful for teachers because here there are a lot of different things that teachers can use , like lesson plans on different material, printable worksheets, and even how to organize your classroom. There are also many resources that I can go into that can help me with professional development such as a virtual workshop, and classroom management. What I enjoyed about this website is the fact that it has a lot of ideas that are helpful and easy to use in the classroom. It also keeps you up to date with school issues. I know for sure that i would like to use this website for tips and as a guide when I teach.
2. What else do I want to learn?
What I would like to learn more about in class is about the different technology and different websites that I could have my students use in the classroom or at home. Like for example when we did the PH scale activity, i like the fact that we could be able to play with it but at the same time learn. I think that children will also enjoy being able to learn by using technology becuase it is definately more fun than worksheets.
