Edutopia

Today I visited the web site http://www.edutopia.org/carol-dweck-intelligence-research in which I read an article about how teachers should tell the teachers to feed their brain. Something else I would like to learn how different strategies of how to make children more engaged in lessons and learning. As a teacher I believe it is import to have children involved in classroom activities.

PBS/ PBSKids

The web site I visited today was http://www.pbs.org in that page I logged on to the linked of pbskids which I found very fun and interesting for children. This page has games and videos for children with familiar TV characters for them. Something that I would like to learn more about is how is it, that some TV characters are attractive for them and how others are not, that is an interesting research I would like to do.

Scholastic Books, Worksheets, & Lessons

The web sit that I visited today is the http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/home.jsp which is wonderful tool for teachers. This web site has all that a teacher can ask for or need when teaching in a classroom. In this web site you can find books, worksheets, and lesson plans for children of all ages. After browsing through this web site I feel I would like to learn more about different type of books and learn which ones work best for teaching children how to become successful readers.
