The first website I enjoyed searching through was the "The Teacher's Corner" site. This resource promotes professional development because of the ideas, forums, and windows of opportunity that is provided. The Teacher's Corner source would make me a better teacher because I easily understood how to navigate the different accessibilities that is provided, increasing my chances of finding activities and plans to engage my students to the fullest potential. The quality of resources provided were appropriate for the designated age level and characterized into categories that will help in realms of organizing lesson plans. The information was easy to find, there was not excess information cluttering the main features of this resource.

The second website I was most impressed with was the "Hot Chalk" resource. Hot Chalk promotes professional development in a way that is challenging yet innovating. The ability to access grades, lesson plans, and contact with parents will aide in developing the more professional aspects of this profession. This resource would help me become a better teacher because all of my necessary information can be digitally filed away, reducing physical clutter allowing a wider range of ideas to be documented easily. The quality of resources provided will enhance student engagement because of all the features that enable numerous learning tools such as videos, articles, and textbooks. The information is easy to find, and the steps to create this virtual facet of education is very descriptive and understandable. The time that this resource saves, allows educators to become focused on the more important aspects of delivering material in creative ways.
