Week 4 - Software Review

I went to the thinkport.org link, but the link was experiencing difficulties of some sort.  While at the thinkport.org site, I decided to check out some of the other areas.  The section for Think Classroom was a great find!  It offered archived lesson plans on various themes that I thought could be useful in my classroom lesson planning.  

I also found some useful reading strategies videos under the Think Career section.  The Think Technology section had some free downloadable graphic organizers as well as games that kids could play online.  There were also software downloads that were available.  One of those was for crossword puzzles, so I downloaded it for future use.

It is unfortunate that the link for the simulations was not working.  I am sure that there would have been some very helpful information for integrating technology into my classroom.
