I found the discussion on this listserv to be very educational.
The discussions all revolved around educational topics that are currently
happening in our school systems. The pieces were informative as well
as quite interesting. The listserv e-mailed me frequently with
wonderful comments. This is one listserv to join. I also really likes how
the listserv explained what they were about as well as listing a full range
of archives to review. |

I really would not recommend this listserv. Even
though I liked how a subscriber could chose how many times they would like
to be e-mailed, I found the e-mails were not very informative and often
did not relate to one another. This listserv seemed to be set up
by an individual rather than an a reputable organization |

Telecollaborative

I really like this site because it is on-going and
because it is affiliated with my school's reading series. Students
from all grade levels are given pre-made lessons and activities that focus
on the weather. After doing the activities the students submit their
findings to the site. |

This is a wonderful project where students can write and
receive postcards from all over the world. Students will learn about
the wonderful uses of technology, learn about different cultures, and gain
new friendships. This is an exciting project that I think students
of all ages will enjoy. |

I love this project! Students are given a problem of the
week and they must try to solve it. Teachers may select appropriate
grade level, then the select an area that they are studying, and then even
select the ability level. The answers are posted at the end of the
week. I love how students can even pose the problems. |

Search Tools

When entering this search engine you will find a
variety of topics to narrow your search. After narrowing your search (for
example: education) you will find a search box and a list of several links
that may be of interest. This is a great search engine for teachers.
I found that the search results lead you straight to the subject areas
that you are searching for. |

I really liked this website because it was for kids.
Sometimes I find that students to not know the wording to use in the search
boxes and therefore find a search frustrating. This site offers many links
to several topics and subjects that a students may be looking for. I found
it kid friendly and I give it a thumbs up. |

At first this website seems to be teacher oriented,
but once you enter the search I found that the search request were very
student friendly. The search results provided links to websites that
were informative and most of the websites met the standards on The
good, the bad and the Ugly. I found this search engine on a wonderful
site: http://www.ivyjoy.com/rayne/kidssearch.html |
Lesson Plan

I love this website! This was a website created for
teachers by teachers. You can easily access appropriate grade level and
topic lesson plans, as well as find thematic units. I loved the helpful
tip links. Most of all I loved how you could easily navigate through
this site and quickly find lesson plans that fit the topic you are searching
for. I am going to bookmark this one! |

I found another great website for teacher lesson
plans. This site offers lesson plans that were submitted by teachers
and allows you to submit your own lesson plan ideas. It is like a teacher
trading post. Almost all subjects were found here. I liked how this
site even had computer lesson plans. I really found that I could
use this site and I found it easy to follow. This site however, did
not offer as many resources as http://www.atozteacherstuff.com/. |
