Online Resources for Lesson Planning

                                                 Online Resources for Lesson Planning
     Based on the readings this week, I think the most useful information I receive is no more than online resources for leason planning. I tried all these three websites. Very interesting!
    Among those three websites, I like Verizon Thinkfinity(http://www.thinkfinity.org) the most. It provides an access to over 60,000 educators and experts in curriculum enhancement, along with thousands of award-winning digital resources for K-12 — aligned to state standards and the common core.So do not hesitate it, just try!try!try!
     I wanted to find some information about living things on earth because one of my assignment in science class was about designing a lesson plan about 1st grade science. Then I went to Thinkfinity's website, typed in key words- living things, selected 1st grade and the subject of science.Then I chose a resouce named "The Creature Feature Archive " and entered into it. It's so amazing! It appead a lot of animals' pictures. I clicked on "Belugas", then I entered into the page full of "Facts&Photos", "Vedio&Sound","Map"and "E-Card". It provided four kinds of resources, which means, I can inroduce the white whale in four different ways. I love it!

Questions:
1. In what way do you think is appropriate to assess 1st grade students about science?
2. Do you think someday educational technology can instead of teaching face-to -face?
3. Do you think teachers will just be decisions makers someday  that they only need to select what kind of information they can use in class?
