Teacher Websites

As educators it is important that we are able to connect with one another for support. We are expected to be resourceful in gathering information to support or enhance our classroom environment. Technology is a vital tool for information at your finger tips and offers a great way to network without the stress of commuting to and from various schools, workshops, or conferences to gain valuable resources. While researching teacher websites for instructional strategies, support on designing learning environments, and engaging students in developmentally appropriate lesson I came across several that offer great information. 

These website are a few examples of resources available to teachers by teachers through the use of technology for Birth - PreK and K-3.

This dual classroom website is run by 2nd and 3rd grade teachers as a classroom extension to students and parents. It offers information on classroom rules and schedule, projects due, parent/student information and activities. The site is updated periodically throughout the school year by each teacher with valuable information on events and activities taking place in the school and classrooms. 

This free webpage created by teachers support teaching technology in the classroom and offers parents an additional means of communication to the teacher. I like this platform to enhance technology use in the classroom as well as support communication with parents.
