Description of the Site (1-2 paragraphs)

Edutopia is a website where teachers can share
and exchange classroom ideas and practices
that can be quite handy.
This website includes the core concept topics
and videos that go along with these topics. It
is a great learning tool that not only teachers
can get use from, but also students. The
owners and authors of this website are the
George Lucas Educational Foundation,
Schools That Work, and teachers who share
their own work or helpful websites that will
help other teachers in their career.
The main features of this website are the topics
and videos, but the videos show real life
footage of the practiced activity or topic.
The intended audience is for teacher, or for
those who work with children on a daily bases.
This website is a great source for information
that can be used in the classroom and even
help teachers who may be struggling with
what to teach in a particular subject.
This will be useful in my future teaching
career and something that I will use. I will be
able to receive ideas that have had positive
feedback from the teachers who have practiced
these methods in their own classrooms.

The Student Guide website is a massive

collection of resources that are extremely
resourceful to students. Even though it is
mostly for student, I believe educators can
receive a ton of information from this.
The articles and websites that are offered
through Study Guide help improve study
habits, organizational skills, analytical skills,
and writing skills. This website lists resources
that are essential for integrating technology
into the classroom. There are websites the
range from activities you can do using
technology to sources that offer free
technology.
This website not only has articles and
websites, but it has podcasts that students and
teachers can listen to. I think that is an
awesome tool to have, especially with the
business of life and the century that we are
currently living in.
As a teacher, this will be a great resource to
refer my students too, especially to those who
are struggling with a particular subject or need
some great studying techniques.

Learn NC is a UNC-Chapel Hill School of

Education based website. This is where the
school is evaluating the role of technological
education and using online textbooks and
information instead of paper and actual
textbooks.
This website has information about North
Carolinas school systems, blogs, articles,
history, projects, and organization. There are
several articles that explain the importance of
technology and how it is becoming more and
more integrated in to the classrooms. This is a
website that is used by parents, teachers,
educators, students, basically anyone who
lives in the state of North Carolina.
This website was made by the educators and
official staff of UNC-Chapel Hill.
As a future educator, I will use this to keep up
with the North Carolina standards. I currently
live in North Carolina, so the possibility for
me teaching in the state is very likely. My
aunt is also a professor at UNC-Chapel Hill
therefore, this website greatly sparks my
interest.

Capella University website is blog based

written by the University that discusses the
importance of using technology in the
classroom and a few resources to get educators

Technology encourages individual learning
and growth and also creates active learners in
the classroom. This is a great opportunity to
get students involved in peer collaboration and
prepare them for the real world. Lastly, it
helps students to become more engages and
creates successful teachers.
The resources suggested are, Sophia,
Edudemic, and Scholastic. Capella is a
reminder of why we use technology and
encouraging educators to use it more.
As a teacher, I would use this website to
remind myself why I need to use technology in
the classroom, especially if it seems as if it
may be frustrating at times.

Early Childhood Research and Practice is a

peer reviewed website incorporating
multilingual journals on the developments,
education and care of young children.
This website was edited by Lilian Katz, Jean
Mendoza, Susan Fowler, and Kevin Dolan.
This is more of a website for teaching and
using technology for younger children, but this
is where the learning begins. Children now a
days are using technology at such a young age
that this information comes in handy. This
website gives a breakdown of what a child
should be learning, when, and at what
grade/age. This gives guidance on the K-2
curriculum.
I may not use this website as much because I
will be teaching a higher grade, but I do think
it is still great information to read and know.

educators. They even give great discussion
questions at the end that really make you think

As a teacher, I will use this website to help me
integrate technology into the classroom and
have knowledge of how to properly do so
