Woo hoo! Up until reading the description of the post last night, I was under the impression that we had to "read" another god awful chapter of the cursed book.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Hopefully this blog doesn't take me too long, as I've still yet to do the hypermedia program power-point thingy. I have no idea what I want to do for that.

So, the teacher web tool I researched is a site called "edHelper.com." It is a elementary/middle school focused (with limited focus on high school) site offering various resources for teachers to use to help accent certain parts of curriculum. The site is also very navigable, and fluid with several hyper links offering passage into other parts of the site.

Some of the areas of the site include: Reading and Writing, PreK-3, Language, Special Education, Foreign Languages, Math, Social Studies, Science and "more" which includes the high school focused things. The site also has a useful "theme" feature which offers teachers potential themes for lesson plans. For example, the theme for 6-7th grade tomorrow is Human Rights in South Africa. All in all the site is a very useful teacher web resource tool.

Our last paragraph is to talk about a tool that we have not yet seen. I don't exactly understand that. If I haven't seen it, how am I supposed to explain it? I will attempt to do so through the sense of taste. It might be easier than sight. No, its not.

I guess a search engine similar to Google, but perhaps more focused. Much like the other features that Google offers (ie: Google Scholar, Google Blog, etc.)

Thats my spiel.

One more blog to go!
