1WONDERFUL WEBSITES! Tools for integrating technology in the classroom!
Here is a collection of some of the websites I use in my classroom. They can be used in a one computer classroom or a 1:1 classroom. All of them can be used by your students at home. They are interactive educational games, publishing tools(blogs), digital storytelling tools, and some technology resources. Hopefully, you will find something you can use to engage your students!
