http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=3752750 - Scholastic Two "Fins Up" for Winter's Tail
The true story of a dolphin with an artificial tail
I liked this article because for the kids it is informative and gives you facts about the dolphin as well as pictures. Students have the oportunity to find information incase the student has a research to do. Students can read about different topics that happen in the real world.

website name was http://www.starfall.com/ and the title Star Fall.com where children have fun learning to read. This website looks appealing for children and I liked it because it encourages them to learn to read. It also consits of the ABC's, it's fun to read and i'm reading. Starfall has icons where children can create their monthly calanders, seasonal things, play educational games and so on. It is well organized and children can see visuals and can hear audio from this program.

Tech & Learning / Put to the test: Camtasia for Macintosh from Techsmith website: http://www.techlearning.com/article/24650This article was interesting, since it talks about children's technology today (20th and 21st century). How before they were wanting to use powerpoint and chalkboards to do their presentations. The latest technology that the want to use know for their projects are recording movies, using web-compatible formats such as camtasia for macintosh also recording audio from theircomputers. This article has pros and cons from teachers, it is inforamtive but the reality is that children are willing to learn about technology and it is important to be familiar with it not only the children but educators also.

http://www.nea.org/tools/14474.htm- Cheating in the Classroom: How to Prevent itThis article was intresting, since it bases on why cheating takes place. It says it could be because the student did not understand the material taught or did not pay attention. It gives ideas of how to prevent cheating on students. It says that multiple choice tests or quizes are easier to cheat than essay question tests. It really gave me ideas of how to manage tests in the classroom.
