Lesson plan builder helps teachers step by step build lesson plans and creates a database of resourses. Not only is this a great tool for helping build and store lesson plans, it is also a social media tool that allows you to gather feedback from other teachers. Obviously we as new teachers can use this for help and guidance to build lessons.

Website Two
http://www.youtube.com/

No matter what subject you teach, teachers will find a educational video on youtube. School systems are trying to incoperate technology into classrooms and showing a short youtube clip is perfect for that requirement. From showing how to solve mathematics to seeing a speech on economics, you can find what you are looking for. Simply go to the search bar and type the subject matter in which you need and hundreds of videos pop up. Youtube is a great source for educational video clips.

Website Three
www.netflix.com

Along the same lines as youetube, I suggest netflix. There are several differences but both are very eductional. Netflix a membership fee of 7 dollars a month; however, you can share one membership on three devices. Therefore get a group of three you can save some money!
