The New York Times supports teaching and learning because its main goal is to inform readers of current events. This site is very up to date with things going on all around the world and provides a very reliable source of information. The main goal of this website is to teach and inform others by their news articles. This influences learning in many different ways because students have to read things and topics they might not have known about before. The only limitations to this site are that it is not a web site for kids under the age of 13. Kids in elementary would find this website boring with too much information. Another limitation may be the amount of links they offer on the home page. It is great to have a webpage with so many different topics but from first glance, it looks very intimidating. It seems like it would take a lot of time to find information for a specific topic. Ways that I could use this in a classroom is for current events. The New York Times has plenty of reliable articles with credited authors that students in a classroom could choose from.

 * This site was a great choice for you. It is very informational and could be a very useful tool for older kids. This would be super handy in many research situations and current events. Great Choice! (ZC)

The Journal supports teaching and learning because their main goal is to teach through technology. This site supports learning so much they found unique ways to teach students rather than the traditional way. They have very interactive articles and even surveys that can relate to readers personally. Limitations of this site are that is for an older age group. It is actually more directed toward college students and maybe high school students in the 11th grade and older. However, what I do like about this site is that the information is very organized and not all on the home page. You can easily find what your specific interest by clicking on the side bar. I could use this in a classroom by having student’s research different ways that technology could be used in the classroom today. The Journal is a very organized and would be an excellent source to use in the classroom.

•Wow! This is an interesting site. It is filled with information, and in depth, even down to managing school budgets. The site is a perfect all-in-one tool. I especially like that it has "news" on different situations occuring in schools, and what is being done to prevent them from occuring in your schools. It's easy to manage and certainly something I would consider using to keep notified on the "World of Teaching." (JB)
