This website seems to be a really good resource for educators. It contains plenty of informative articles and tools for use in the classroom. It has separate drop-down menus for teachers and administrators with relevant information for each. It also has information on lesson plans, technology and professional development. I can navigate it well, so it's easy and it has plenty of neat tools to help teachers at all levels.

This website is based mostly on blogs and discussion boards for educators. There is also a section that contains videos with different educational topics. It contains many of the popular topics in education that we have been learning about and is also fairly easy to navigate. The fact that it is interactive with other educators is a neat concept in my opinion.

National Center for Education Statistics. I used this site as a reference for my research project in EDUC. 500. It has all kinds of different surveys and statistics having to do with education and school-age children. As a social sciences person, I like these types of studies and believe they can have a place in a social studies classroom. I think they can be a good resource for referencing findings and a good tool for your own research.

This website is based around the subject of history. It covers basically every topic that would be relevant in American and European history. It has biographies of historical figures beyond the typical high points and allows you to search by historical significance. It also contains numerous categories that can be broken down into subcategories that allows for a very specific and detailed search. As a prospective history teacher, I think it contains a wealth of historical data that is easily accessible.
