This week I visited the most interesting website called the virtual museum of the city of San Francisco. This website provided information about the gold rush and important people who are part of our history. This website has diaries available and time- lines that individuals can access if needed. This website is very resourceful for students who are doing research or just want to learn more about our history.
This website is different than the recent websites that I have visited, it displays all the important events about San Francisco but it doesn't have lessons for teachers or activities for children however it provides substantial information for a teacher to utilize in a classroom. This website is very interesting.
If I had to do some research or just to read interviews or biographies I would defiently come and visit this website. I am glad that I got the chance to view different websites because it gives me a clear picture of the different resources that are out there and many times we aren't aware of.

Development Plan
http://www.teacher.scholastic.com
The Scholastic website is very resourceful it has lesson plans, activities for all subjects. However, what really got my attention was that it had a section that is called kids press corp were students interact and give their feedback about important news that is of interest to them. Furthermore, I also got the chance to go into the Spanish version of Scholastic that provides the same activities and lessons for Spanish learners.
The scholastic website allowed me to see that various websites lack students input about subjects that are of interest to them; However, this is not the case of scholastic I would like to see other websites give such information. Moreover, scholastic is very resourceful for bilingual teachers, because it gives lesson plans for teachers and useful resources for parents. Overall, scholastic covers all important components of a useful website for teachers, parents, students.
To conclude, scholastic is a website that I would use for further references, and for future assignments. I fully recommend this website especially for us future bilingual teachers that don't have many sample lessons to choose from.

Professional Development Plan
http://www.edutopia.org
As I viewed this website I learned that it gives feedback for teachers in doing lessons that are technology based. For example, in an article that I read it stated how students are using computer based problems to solve problems. Comments were posted by teachers that had applied it to their classroom and how it had worked for their students. Different school subjects were covered for example students who were developing their writing skills and many other subjects.
I read the articles, but I would have liked to see the actual lessons, and how it integrated technology. This website has wonderful articles that cover the importance of technology based instruction and the benefits.

www.pbs.org
The pbs.org website is great for children, parents, teachers it has lesson plans available for all the subjects a child needs help on. The section I was most interested on was on the reading part were it has fun games and lessons a child can do by themselves. For example, it gives the educator a variety of activities and preferable books for children at different reading levels, and has worksheets that relate to what is being learned.
The pbs.org website is very helpful for teachers because it allows them to do lessons that previous teachers have conducted and have beneficial effects on their students. My niece loves this website because she is learning and in the same time she is having fun. That for me is very gratifying.
To conclude pbs website allowed me to see that it has very beneficial lessons for parents and teachers and at the same time a child is learning and having fun.
