 * __Assignment 6: Favorite Educational Websites__**

The first website I really like is [|www.internet4classrooms.com]. It provides links to different lessons using technology as well as tutorials for different technology applications. This is especially great for someone like me who is looking to learn! I also like [|www.worldofteaching.com], which gives teachers access to all different types of power points on all different topics. This is a great way to provide information to students using technology. A great website for finding educational video clips to show students is [|www.discoveryeducation.com]. This site has videos for any topic!


 * __Lesson 8: Educational Games Website__**

I found a site, [|www.playkidsgames.com], that has a lot of fun activites, but the game I liked allows teachers to put in their own vocabulary words to create vocabulary practice games. This is definitely something I would use to help my kids review and study!
