The Daily CAFE

http://www.TheDailyCafe.com/public/main.cfm

This website has information about the CAFE and Daily 5 programs for reading, writing, and math instruction. There are some very interesting ideas here and I've seen them implemented successfully in a few different classrooms!

Webquery

http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=184754

This is a Webquery that I designed for a third grade math lesson! Webquerys are a great use of technology in a classroom because they help to lay out an entire lesson for the student and give them online resources to help with completing the assignment. Very cool concept! When I start teaching, if I plan on using Webquerys quite a bit in my classroom, I will definitely pay for a membership to a website that allows teachers to make very detailed and visually appealing Webquerys for their classrooms.

Quizlet

http://quizlet.com/

Quizlet is a FREE website where you can create study tools for students, or students can create study tools for themselves. It is great for vocabulary practice because you can create flash cards and play games to practice those words. There are also sets of vocabulary words already created that you can search and find definitions that other people have written. Creating an account and using the website is all free!

Classroom Architect

Classroom Architect is a great tool to move around furniture in your classroom without having to do all the work, until you find an arrangement that you like! This website gives you a birds-eye view of the classroom so you can see where all of the furniture can be placed. This is definitely helpful when you're thinking of rearranging your classroom!

Luminosity

http://www.lumosity.com/

This website isn't necessarily a resource for teachers, but it is definitely fun brain workout! There are games to help enhance memory, attention, creativity, and overall brain performance. To do personal brain training, you must create an account. What's better than playing games and working out your brain at the same time? 

NEA

http://www.nea.org/

The NEA is the National Education Association, as all teachers in the United States probably know. The NEA website is a good resource for teachers to look at every once in a while to see what is happening in education all around the country. This website addresses issues in education and suggests plans of action to work toward better public schools for all students. Lesson plans, activities, and teaching strategies can also be found here. This is also the spot where you can sign up to be an NEA member, which has many benefits!

NSTA

http://www.nsta.org/default.aspx

The NSTA is the National Science Teachers Association. Although more of the website is accessible with a membership (which is beneficial for all teachers, not just those teaching science), there are still useful articles that are available for browsers without a membership. This website has information about what is happening in science and in science education around the country. Ideas for science lessons and experiments can also be found here, which is helpful for us teachers who struggle with science ideas and integration (I'm working on it!)
