An interesting web based resource is www.discoveryschool.com. On this site there are many useful tools that make creating a fun lesson easier. On the site there is a puzzlemaker where you can create your own crosswords, math squares, and word searches. There is a lesson planner where you can create your own lesson, include links to puzzles you created, and then store the lesson plan so you can come back to it later. There is a worksheet generator where the teacher can make their own worksheets or use pre-made ones.

However, the most useful tool on this website, in my opinion, is the "quiz center." Teachers can create their own quizzes and save them on the site for future use. The quizzes are administered online so they are graded by the computer right after the student finishes taking the quiz. This reduces the amount of time that the teacher has to spend on grading papers, allowing more time for teaching. This also saves paper which is always good.

One tool that I could not find online was a lesson plan builder that incorporated the Florida education standards into the lesson. There was nothing that checked if the lessons that teachers were using were actually preparing the students for future standardized tests like the FCAT. Although I don't personally agree with this type of testing it is required and not all students are being adequately prepared for the test. I think if there were a lesson plan builder that checked for relevancy students would preform better on these tests.
