[|http://www.teachabroad.com] We live in the richest nation in the entire world, and yet our public education system is completely outdated and slowly crumbling. The United States hasn't met the world's standards in education since the 1950's, as schools continually struggle with poor funding, high drop out rates, and low teacher quality. Because of these factors, I feel it is of the utmost importance to gain personal expierience from teaching abroad. By observing the various ways schools from other cultures function, we gain knowledge and insight that we as future teachers might be able to impliment into our lesson plans when/if we decide to return to teaching domestically. Using these personal expieriences obtained from teaching abroad will be an important way in which we can compare and contrast our failing education system with other education systems, hopefully leading to the discovery of new and innovative ways of improving the future of education in this country. This website is a great help for those interested in teaching and living abroad. It answers some basic questions about teaching in another country and can help determine if it might be the right step for you. It also provides a newsletter you can subscribe to that gives you all the latest information about teaching abroad, as well as a full directory of teacher job listings from all over the world.  [] All in all, I thought that the website would be perfect for students in a 10th or 11th grade United States history class. The author provided sources for all of her information which made it easy to see where she was getting her facts from, thus increasing her credibility dramatically. The site has not been updated since 1998, however, this is only one small setback on an internet site which is great in every other way. Also, the fact that the author cites quotations from people who witnessed the events of the Civil Rights Movement gives the reader a better idea about what happened during this exciting time in American history. [] This web site is good for kids who might need a little extra help with their math class. it breaks down the different types of math easy so that the kids can see where they need to go. It has games and other fun activities that help the kids learn a little more easy. it also has test that the kids can use to see how well that they know the material.

http://www.enchantedlearning.com This Web site is a great tool for both elementary teachers and their students. It provides classroom activities for elementary teachers to use in their classrooms, in order to enhance student learning. This site also provides different topics for students to explore. It is very easy to navigate, and I feel you and your future elementary students will love it!

It has a range of useful tips from dealing with parents, to planning lessons and working together with veteran teachers and principals. The website is very easy to navigate and simple enough that anyone can use it. It is a branch off the Ed.gov website which is also a site that first year teachers should have on their "favorites"

http://www.pecentral.org/ This is a website that I have used before and has a great deal of information. The website is more for the teacher, but there are some aspects that a student could use. There are lesson plans for all grade levels. These lesson plans also go into detail, and are a great response for a new physical education teacher.

**__tutorvista.com__** This website is great for a wide range of students, which includes K-12 and come college students. This website is designed to tutor any student in the subject areas of math, physics, biology, english, chemistry, and science. I would highly encourage any teacher to recommend this website to their students. If by chance the teacher is unavailable, this website personalizes their instant messenger tutoring according to the student's age, grade level, and subject area they are having difficulties with. The students will actually receive help from a human being than just trying to do it themselves. **http://www.funbrain.com** I used to use this site when I babysat. This site would be perfect for any teacher because students can explore during a break or free time in the classroom. It has up to date information, and games dealing with anything from reading to math. It is age appropriate for elementary students, and keeps them interested as well because it's so fun!   http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/pages/listscilinksba.html I thought that this website was very helpful for someone who wants to be a science teacher. It offers lessons and information on subjects ranging from elementary levels all the way to high school. There are several links to other sites that are related to science. There were also many fun and easy projects for students to do. It was also easy to navigate and had no problems getting to other links on the website. The Web Site of my choice is called pecentral.org. It was created for anyone interested in physical education, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Several features of this site include, uploading videos of people engaging in physical activity, an online program that can help anyone stay fit, and information about physical education programs if you're interested in pursuing a career in this field. I would reccomend this site to anyone who wants to get back into shape. I know how being in college and working consumes a great deal of our time, but we must always remember the importance of staying healthy.

http://kids.nationalgeographic.com This website is a very useful resource that I could use for Webquests in my classroom. There are several links and fun activities that can help put a different twist on learning for my students. Even though I do not plan to be a science teacher, I found this website very useful. When I become a teacher, I will use many websites of this nature in my classroom. Using sites like this allows students to explore a variety of things without getting into things that they shouldn't be seeing. http:www.income-outcome.com/experience.hmtl I am going into business with not only the idea to teach students about business, but how to be successful in their personal lives as well. This website is great because it starts at the basics and continues to different levels. This site will not be appropriate for younger children, however you could tweak the lessons a little to fit their needs. This site would also be good for accounting classes as well. It gives you the <span style="color: rgb(38,21,172);">tools to help your students when it comes to problem solving, accounting for their mistakes, how to manage, and many other things. All of these things are important to surviving in the real world of <span style="color: rgb(34,119,37);">business.

http://www.business.gov Since I am going to teach business this is an important Web page. The only part missing to this article is an author. However, it is a government article so there are probably multiple authors. The website is very simple and easy to read. It could be used for teachers or students. It was updated in February so it is recent.

http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/lessons.html This website is great for art teachers who need lesson plans and for regular teachers who want to incorporate an art project in with a lesson. The website ranges from kindergarten to high school, so there is something there for every grade level. The lesson plans are based on grade level so you just have to click the button for your particular grade and the whole page is filled with ideas. This is a very simple and straight forward website and should be easy for anyone to use.

<span style="display: block; color: rgb(0,128,128); font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: center;">Website: www.teachers.net Info. about the website:This website seems to have everything a teacherwould want. The subjects of the site range from child care all the way to adult education and everything in between. By offering chatrooms, advice and lesson plans this site is also favorable to beginning teachers as well. I also found the site very easy to navigate with little advertisement. There were indivual sections for each area of schooling to help teacher find the specfic are they are looking for. Another aspect that I liked was the fact that the website was updated every month with a newletter and new topics to look into. Lastly found the website interesting in terms of the topic up for discussion. If the topics on a wesite are boring not much discussion will arise. But if the topics are relative, the discussion will be interesting to read on.

Website: www.history.com This website is a very resourceful website for history teachers of all levels and all subjects. It has a wide variety of articles on different subjects from different resources. It is a reputable website, and a website for the most watched history channel in the U.S. But, being from the U.S., it does have a bit of bias towards the American point of view on historical events. The author and sources of each article are clearly stated at the end each article. The articles are plainly stated and easy to understand. It is also very easy to navigate.

Website: http://www.education-world.com This website includes many lesson planning, professional development, school isssues, and more. Although the website is very comprehensive, I'm not sure exactly how to find what I'm looking for. When I was able to find an area that suited my needs, the information was plentiful and well-organized. The organization of the assignments included sub-categories such as "5-minute fillers" and the "worksheet library".
