Tool #2: Visiting 5 websites.

The five blogs I visited were:  Learning is Messy, Mrs. Cassidy's Classroom Blog, Children's Books for ELL Instructions, Learning and Laptops, and Science for All.  I thought Mrs. Cassidy's blog was the most helpful and interesting because she works with young children as do I.  Being able to get ideas and strategies from not just her, but all the people who commented on her posts, is very helpful.  A future site I thought looked interesting was 'The History Teachers Attic".  This site offers many ideas for fieldtrips and real life activities that students could get involved with.  I had no problems sharing my thoughts publicly on all of the blogs I left comments on.
