**Evaluation of Utility**: This is a great website. I have used it often. On it, I found resources and links to other websites and books. After reading through various articles, I have often been inspired to do more innovative projects with my students. What I love the most is that pretty much everything you need to think outside of the box is on this website. One link leads to another and another and another. Everything kind of builds. I love it.

**Types of Resources**: Includes links to articles, technological integration links, websites, books, videos, teacher blogs, downloads,lesson plans, etc…. to help teachers create innovative and up to date plans.

**Evaluation of Utility**: I love this website. It had so much that I was nearly overwhelmed. I kept jumping from link to link to link. There is so much available for the professional educator. I especially liked the little “Today’s Teaching Tip.” It is a brief little ditty that sometimes reminds you of things you know, or it gives you ideas you hadn’t ever thought of before. And they are all quick and easy little ditties. None of them seem to take a lot of prep work or planning to implement.

**National Council of Teachers of English ** ** Location: ** **[]**

**Description**: Another great resource for educators is // NCTE //. On this website, I was able to find classroom resources for teachers and parents, as well as professional development opportunities. It was divided by grade level taught, including elementary, middle, secondary, and college. Also included are links to several other websites such as // readwritethink //, articles such as // African American Read In // , and // Teaching in the Changing World of 21st-Century Literacies. //

**Types of Resources**: Resources included: links to websites, articles, opportunities to follow, books, professional development opportunities, grants, lesson plans, magazines, consultants, and more.

**Evaluation of Utility**: This is a decent website. It has information specifically related to standards, when standards are the main focus in our staff meetings. Although I found the articles I read to be rather dry, there is a lot of information available. It is easy and quick to link to something useful in our classrooms. The books available through this website seem to be some of the more current resources, offering current strategies for integrating technology, collaborating with other teachers, and teaching in any level - elementary, middle, secondary, or college.
