International

http://www.techlearning.com/ is a great website that allows teachers around the world to communicate in a global effort to better the educational systems around the world. There are some down sides to it, commercials take over your screen, but that is expected in the internet age of today. I do like the organization of the website and it includes many hot topics of current events. Being able to communicate with teacher’s a crossed the world is essential if we want United States students to compete on a global level.

http://www.iteachnet.org/ is another great web site that allows teachers all around the world to communicate on a day to day basis. These blogs allow teachers to compare and contrast ideas and how they would like to use unique and standard ideas in their classrooms. It is very exciting to see the use of technology become so useful and all this information being ready for teachers to use at the click of a mouse. I will use these websites when I am teaching to get an idea of not only curriculum in the united states, but around the world.
