Blog Post #3

There were quite a few websites and resources listed in the text for teachers and students. One teacher website that I found useful and would use in the classroom is http://www.proteacher.com/. It seems very user friendly and returned many relevant websites for the search. I often personally use http://www.google.com/ for most of my searches in the classroom and it seems to be a quick, easy, and reliable website for many searches. Even for students, it has a default setting to "moderate" filter to prevent many unwanted websites. The text explores some other options for search sites for students, including http://www.kidsclick.org/. I tried to search some high school mathematics terms like 'distributive, quadratic, and sine' and no results were returned. I'm not sure this would be a good site for high school. In my classroom (and the test mentions this also) I use http://www.math.com/. It has lots of good examples and resources for students to use if they are struggling with concepts. I've also used http://www.mathforum.org/ to get ideas and allow students to search items.
