PBS

The website PBS, http://www.pbs.org/, is a place where teachers parents and students can go to in order to access important information which will assist in their everyday life. From creative activities to informational news, PBS keeps up with an array of topics that will keep a vivid interest in the people who visit their site. Teachers can mainly benefit from this because they can gain useful information to use in their classrooms.

What I would like to learn is how we can bring sites like these into the classrooms so that not only the teachers can have the opportunity to explore this site but also give the children the opportunity to do the same in class. This can be a help ful site if students are looking for research or are simply looking for a game to kill time when they are done with their work.
