Teach-nology

I stubbled upon this site through my research and I think it is amazing. Not only was I able to find great resources for English teachers, but there are resources and links for all subject areas. I think this site is great for all teachers to use especially since it is focused around providing examples of worksheets, lesson plans, rubrics, etc. for all grade levels k-12. This site is very easy to navigate as well. It provides tabs on the home page that bring you to its different resources including: lesson plans, printables, rubrics, subjects, themes, tips, tools, and worksheets. I think this site is good for examples for new teachers. They can see what creative worksheets look like and how to collaborate ideas to make an engaging assignment for their students.

The thing I liked most about this site is it caters directly to teachers today. For example, there is a link for 'teacher time-savers.' This gives examples for quick 5-minute lessons. These are perfect for when class did not go as prepared and you have only a little time left to use. Also, this site stays up to date on technology as it has a link for readily available webquests. I found another interesting link to our class through this site's examples of how to use word walls for each grade level. Anything you can think of, this site has it! Finally, this site is a great resource for the integration of technology in the classroom. It allows teachers to stay informed about how technology can improve the content of their classroom and engage students on a different level. By using it's search bar, you can find hundreds of links to helpful articles and services that teachers use in the classroom today. I thorougly enjoyed exploring this site and will definitely use it in the future. Check it out!
