1. What did I learn?
The website that I visited this week is http://jayzeebear.com/green_forest.html and this is an awesome interactive website for students to learn while at the same time have fun. This website has different activities according to age. It is so easy to use and especially very kid friendly which is a plus. Here kids from as early as 2 year old can start learning about their colors, ABCs, shapes etc, by doing different interactive activities that they will have fun doing. For example if you go under the section for 2 yr olds and you click on the ABCs it will tell you the letter and show you a picture of something that starts with that letter. That helps with children phonemic awareness and phonics and is definately very useful. I really enjoyed this website and cant wait to introduce it to my son. :)
2. What else do I want to learn?
What i want to learn more about in class is about a lot of interactive websites that are out there for children. I think that by having students learn in a website like the one i visited this week it would be more fun and exciting to learn for them.

1. What did I learn?
The website that i went into this week is www.ixl.com and this is a math practice site for prek-6th grade students. The first things that caught my attention is how colorful, organized, and kid friendly this website is. This website also has a lot of information for teachers even on how to meet state standards. Through this website students are able to practice their math skills by doing activities and problems through colorful pictures. Once they are done the teacher can go back and look at the students reports. This website makes a student report out of every child and it lets the teacher know what the student needs help on. Also there is an award chart, once each child reaches their goal or masters a new concept they get awarded with prizes, its like a big treasure hunt for them. I definately enjoyed this website because its not only fun and educational for children but it is also very helpful and useful for the teacher.
2. What else do I want to learn?
What i would like to learn more about is of the free softwares that are out there. If i could learn more about free softwares i wont have to waste a lot of money but still get the same result.

1. What did I learn?
The website that I decided to go into this week is http://www.edhelper.com/ and I loved every bit of it. This website has so many ideas and information to help you teach and create good educational lesson plans. It has things for almost every grade level and subject, you can create your own word puzzles or word searches, it has a lot of different theme units, printables, and even ideas that you can use to decorate your classroom. I really thought this website was really good, I know i will definately be using it in the future because it has a lot of information and ideas that will help me be a great teacher.
2. What else do I want to learn?
What I would like to learn more would be about how to help students get more involved with technology. I think that technology is a great thing and it can help students learn in a different way.
