"The site includes, a search engine for educational web sites only, a place where educators can find information without searching the entire Internet, original content, including lesson plans, practical information for educators, information on how to integrate technology in the classroom, and articles written by educational experts, and Wire Side Chats with the important names in education."This website offers many tools at your fingertips about education and using technology in education. It is easy to navigate with bright colors and easy to read fonts. The page is organized in rectangles with headings and a large directory down the left hand side and again at the bottom of other sites. The information loads quickly and has a search engine to use within the site and on the Internet. I particularly like the technology integration page as it offers professional reading about using technology in the classroom, but has lesson plans, templates, "techtorials", web quests, sites to see and the idea library.
A draw back to the site for me is it is very busy, things flashing and lots of advertisements on the main page down the right hand side and again on the pages you link to.
I found this website very helpful not only for education, but for technology tips and the administrator's desk offers many good resources for someone who is just starting this journey into being an administrator.
I discovered from taking the Technology Applications Inventory that my weakness is in foundations of technology. I feel that this site could serve as a resource for me to improve in this area. I want to learn how to incorporate more uses of technology in my teaching and classroom and this site seems to offer many ideas and sites for me to investigate.
I would recommend that teachers looking for a new and innovative ways to incorporate technology into their classroom to visit http://www.education-world.com/. I feel it is a very valuable site that I will use over and over again.
