LEARN NC
This is a great website to view ideas for teaching. This includes lesson plans, blogs from real teachers and it even covers an area of specking. Very interesting lots of information for futre educators.

THE JOURNAL
The Journal seems to be a very good website to keep up to date with the new news in the world of education. Along the side it has new articles written about other school systems that are trying new things and companies that are coming out with new software or programs.

BLUE WEB'N
This is a site that can keep teachers up to date on new websites designed for education. In blue web'n the sites that they choose are to help with classroom instruction. This will be very helpful for grabbin new ideas in the future.

TURNER LEARNING
Very good website for teachers trying to learn more about their students. If teachers are looking for a way to find out what kids care about this is the site to go to. It is based around students and what they are interested in what is happening in the world today.

TRACKSTAR
This is a website for teachers to share their lesson plans or for teachers to get ideas to use with their students. There is a search to find lessons by specific people or by finding certain subjects that they are trying to teach.

TOM SNYDER PRODUCTIONS
This site was really cool. There are plenty of programs for computer interaction to help kids learn. The best part about it is that it has stuff for every subject, math, social studies, science. It also has stuff for teachers and professional development.

SOFTWARE EXPRESS
This site was a lot like the Tom Snyder Productions. It had many more programs to choose from than the other site though. The programs sold were broken down even further because of this and made it much easier to find specific areas that somebody would be looking for.

CDE - COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
More basic concepts listed here. Not very exciting to view this site. I thought it was way too basic and needs an overhall to get people to go to this site. Good information but it is like looking at a text book.

FREE
Very cool to help teachers with making powerpoints and getting information for class. Need to keep this site because it will be a really handy tool for integrating technology into the classroom. This site keeps up with other great sites and quick links to more information than a teacher could teach in a given year.
