This is a very fun, cool site. The students can go in one area and get homework help, take self grading vocab tests in case a parent can't help at the moment. There are flashcards. There is a teacher site that is wonderful and would make teaching so much easier in planning. There is a free on-line tools to practice using reading, speling, writing and vocabulary help, worksheets, color sheets. I would recommend this site to all new teachers for sure.

This site is read with the adult reading along while using the computer or with ear phones the child can hear the story being read or read along as the text is highlighted as the story proceeds. I think that I might use this site for a child who is bored and maybe misbehaving in the classroom to enlighten learning in a different venue.

This site offers information on Canada from grade 1through high school whre you can read, watch videos look at maps, play games related to the topic, fast facts and look at what interests them.  This gives lesson plans by subject and we can choose the grade that is wanted with this information. The kids using this site would really enjoy the site and using the computers.

http://www.discoveryeducation/. com   I think this is a good resource for teachers with many subjects that available.  I would use this site for older students as there is a lot going on which requires the user to go from site to site and may not be appropriate for younger users.  The site has online tutors, homework help on line if wanting a certain discovery channels program could be watched at the same time or individually.  There is a lot of information a teacher could use as a resource site and also refer students to use.

http://www.readwritethink.org/  This site would be helpful to teachers of different grades used to make classes interesting. The activities and projects, coic creator, crossword pruzzles and poems, stragegy guides games and art projects.  To help teachers plan their learning goals in a fun way while making the learning objectives clear.
