  1. Ten Best Uses of the Internet in the ClassroomIDT 7064-M50 June 12, 2010 Tara Thomas

  2. #1 Lesson Plans http://www.readwritethink.org/ DescriptionRationale: This site has many lesson plans, student interactive tools such as Cartoon Creator and other resources that are innovative and exciting. Many are technologically based.

  3. #2 Online Professional Development http://www.merlot.org/merlot/index.htm Description Rationale: This site has information from experts around the world. It can also be translated into different languages. It beats staying late after school on Wednesdays for professional development lectures.

  4. #3 Student Research Resource http://www.sweetsearch.com/ Description Rationale: This site really is sweet and safer than most search engines. It features “On This Day” and “Birthdays” concerning famous people and events . The school librarians site features “tweets” from librarians. Who new librarians were so cool?

  5. #4 Virtual Tours http://earth.google.com/ Description Rationale: What an awesome way to see what places really look like. It could really enhance a Social Studies lesson. Plus, we could all virtually go to Disney World!

  6. #5 Online Publishing http://docs.google.com/demo/edit?id=scACplZivd38Qniqkie9gM6nr&hl=en#document Description Rationale: This site allows peers to really collaborate. Students won’t have to wait anymore for their turn to do their part on a project- less whining about taking turns!

  7. #6 Web-enhanced Learning http://dsc.discovery.com/ Description Rationale: I like the huge variety of subjects, videos and interactive experiences, games, blogs and quizzes covered on this site.

  8. #7 Web-based Instruction http://www.brainpop.com/ Description Rationale: This site has funny and informative videos on many subjects. And, you can see how current they are. Go U.S.A.!

  9. Description Rationale: I just had to use two slides for this site. The way they have the videos aligned to the state objectives makes you want to pay to get full access.

  10. #8 Online Class Communication http://teacher.scholastic.com/homepagebuilder/index.htm Description Rationale: This site is through Scholastic. You have a class home page and way to publish student work. The tutorial is great. Plus, it makes you look like a very tech savvy teacher.

  11. #9 Skill Practice http://www.starfall.com/ Description Rationale: This site is great for reading practice for Pre-K-2nd grade. Some ELL teachers have used this as a way to teach phonics. I’ve actually seen pre-K students learn to read with the help of this site.

  12. #10 Teaching Tools http://edhelper.com/ Description Rationale: Sometimes you just need a worksheet. This site offers customizable worksheets and word walls. It is a good resource to have when you need written assessments for students on different levels.

  13. The tool that was new for me that I used on this project is called Snagit. http://www.techsmith.com/ This tool is screen capture software that allows you to take a screenshot of a Web page, edit it and send it to outputs and output accessories like Microsoft PowerPoint. I found out about it on the American Association of School Librarians’ site. http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/bestlist/bestwebsites.cfm
