This website is called InspireKidz and it gives ideas to teachers on ways to integrate technology into the daily classroom schedule. It has links that explain epals, Web Quests, and etc. They provide links to certain programs to use in the classroom. This website also provides games/quizzes ideas for teachers to use in various subjects such as math, science, spelling, and etc. I think that this website would be helpful to teachers because there are links to various other websites that gives ideas on integrating technology into the classroom. I like this website because it is simple and the layout does not overwhelm you with information.

I really like the website that you chose because I actually picked the same one for my post. I thought this was a good site for both teachers and students because it has everything you would need all in one website. It can teach a person how to use certain technology such as email, as well as, provide the students fun ways of learning with games and quizzes. One of my favorite parts of the website was the Epals because it has so many different aspects of learning within that one activity. I think having the children learn about other cultures and actually having them be able to communicate with those particular students from different cultures is really neat. Also, Epals can be tied into just about every other part of the curriculum. For example, if you were learning about different animals, where they live, and what they eat. You could set up an email exchange between your students and students from the country where those particular animals live. This would be a great way to let the children learn because they would be getting some of their information on a first hand basis from other students who see or interact with those particular animals on a daily basis. Overall, great web site!
This looks like a great website! It seems that there are activities for all of the different subjects. This website could be used for you as a future teacher to find activities, or the students could use it on their own for things like the games and quizzes. Epals sounds like a really good idea as well. I had never heard of that before but it sounds like the kids would really enjoy something like that, and it would teach them about a new country as well. Great website!
This is a very good website! I especially like the layout of it. The simpleness really makes it easy for really anyone to use. I agree with what Kody said about the Epals feature. It is so important for children to learn about other cultures. I believe that if children learn at a young age about different cultures then they are less likely to discriminate against different cultures as they grow up.
I love this website!!! It has lots of really fun ideas for both teachers and students. I like the idea of Epals- this is something I had never heard of before but it is a great idea!! I also like that there are links to other websites because you can never have too many resources. Did you notice anything about the site that you didn't like? I also liked how it was set up and agree with you that it wasn't too overwhelming. I'm glad you picked this site because now I know about it and will use it in the future!
I think this is a great choice of a website. It has a lot of informational things for both students and teachers. I agree, this website is very easy to follow and has a lot of ways to get appropriate information such as games and quizzes for the class or grade level that is being taught. The format of this website is extremely easy to follow for example; everything is broken up into categories and headings. This website allows people to learn basic to more complex skills. I think this is an excellent website for teachers to use in order to improve technology in and out of their classroom!
I think InspireKidz is a very good website. I like how it gives ideas to teachers on how to integreate any kind of technology into the classroom. It would be a very useful website because it shows how to incorporate technology into any subject and it is not limited to just one thing. Alos, the simple layout is very beneficial to new technology users because it won't be hard to read or comprehend the information. How will you incorporate this information into your classroom? Is this something that you will use on a regular basis?
I liked the website. It was enjoyable to navigate and check out all it has to offer. I think it's very convienent to have this resource and resources like this available for our use. It will be helpful as a teacher to access websites that provide ideas such as quizzes, games, lesson plans, etc. I also think the Epals is a neat feature. When Kody mentioned it, I had to check it out! It's neat how it can be tied into the curriculum. It shows how you can incorporate technology into any subject area which is awesome that it is all included in one website! I am definitely going to use this website when I become a teacher!
