1. Review of Web 2.0
Teachers First is a website that allows teachers to collaborate and share resources
amongst each other. It includes classroom resources, professional resources, and other learning
resources for teachers to use with their students. In the classroom resources section, it has a great
column called classroom planning calendar. It has different activities and lessons that pertain to a
certain holiday or anniversary, which makes it easy for educators to link their daily lesson to
outside world events. Teachers First contains millions of lesson plans that can give you an idea
for your own lesson for the day or you can just use one that you find. You can even review and
comment on other educator’s lesson plans, which is great to hear and give feedback.
This website was extremely user friendly. What I loved about Teachers First is that it
isn’t just for teachers. Parents can even sign up on Teachers First and find resources for
homework help or additional lessons to help your child with school. This website features links
to sites that can be helpful to educators and apps that you can use on your mobile device. This is
truly a great resource for teachers, parents, and students that are going into education.
