1) NEA:National Education Association
2) This is the NEA web page. It has ideas for the classroom, information about current issues/politics, help for parents, and member savings. And it all comes from within the profession.
3) URL = http://www.nea.org/index.html
4) The video I played is entitled "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights"
1) Tammy’s Technology Tips for Teachers
2) Since I have not taught in my own classroom, I don’t necessarily have a favorite website for teaching that I use on a consistent basis. I have gone through the many websites and internet programs Dr. Topp has shown us through this semester and chosen Tammy’s Technology Tips for Teachers as one of my favorites. Tammy Worcester has worked for the past twelve years as an Instructional Technology Specialist for ESSDACK, an educational service center. Her job is to help train and give ideas when it comes to technology in the classroom. Every week, she puts up a new post with activities or websites students would find fun and interesting to use in their learning. For example, one post was called “Wordle”. This is a website you can go to and build pictures collages with words. I think this could be great to use when wanting students to list key topics or ideas in reading or writing, or when finding the causes and effects with different events in Social Studies. Another example came during the time of the Election, Tammy posted a bunch of election sites that were friendly to students. I don’t know if I would have found this website as soon if Dr. Topp hadn’t shown it to us. I love it.

**This video shows the creativity of middle schools students and that we shouldn’t hold low expectations in their creativity.

Eduscapes.com
This website was developed by Annette Lamb and Larry Johnson, former teachers/administrators, library media specialists, and both have Ph.D.'s in Instructional Media. They set up this website for teachers, parents, students and life-long learners of all ages. Their main focus is to integrate technology into teaching and learning environments.

The video I played was called, "The Mom Song."
1.Vic Firth Beginner Lesson Series with MARK WESSELS
2. This is an awesome site for educators and performers. The percussion technique videos in the Mark Wessels section are fantastic tools to aid students in forming correct techniques and basic skills. This site has fantastic step-by-step videos to help advance all levels of knowledge.

My web site:
http://myweb.unomaha.edu/~saschenbrenner/final/InternetintheClassroom.html
1. Title – The New York Times Learning Network
2. Description – A website for teachers, students, and parents that features information from the New York Times newspaper. The site includes a featured article of the day with a lesson plan for the teacher. There is an archive of past lesson plans organized by subject. To help students better understand the articles they are reading there is an atlas and dictionary tool in every article. There is a five question daily news quiz. The site includes a “this day in history” section. For parents there are daily conversations starters.
This website can be used as an anticipatory set at the beginning of the class and as a research tool.

1)Teacher.net
2)I found teachers.net to be a valuable resource. It includes a chat center, lesson plans, projects, and job opportunities. You can explore it be grade level, state, or subject matter. On the right hand side it contains information about a language and English center, professional groups, project center, hot topics, tech center, and a career center. There are also articles pertinent to the time of year and common issues in a classroom. For example, there is a nice article on a December Survival Guide for classroom management and general stress relief.

my website
Best Website for Educators:
Brain Pop! Tons of free “animated” lessons on a variety of topics
• Science
• Social Studies
• English
• Math
• Arts & Music
• Health
• Technology
Some of the videos are “free”, just enough to get any educator hooked!
Brain Pop is geared towards grades 3 and up… but the older kids can also learn from the short “basics” on many topics

Favorite “youtube” Video:
Middle Ages Tech Support
“The First Help Desk Call”

1) Epals.com
2) This is a website that allows to students and educators to communicate via email in a safe manner. Teachers are allowed to permit or delete emails sent and/or received from a pen-pal if it is inappropriate. The site provides a forum that makes it easier for teachers from across the world to find each other. Any visitor is able to narrow their search for other teachers and students by country and continent. In addition to simple communication, classes are able to work together on projects ranging from global warming, geography, to habitats.
