Colorin colorado This website was made for English Language Learners, but it gives some great insight and ideas on reading-writing activities. I wanted to give educators ideas and ways to incorporate reading-writing connection in the classroom.

[|Every Child a Reader and Writer] Through this website, you can watch videos and read about teachers incorporating literacy into their classroom. Teachers are first interviewed and observed, followed by a self-evaluation to show how they have developed and what they will do next time to make the experience more beneficial for themselves and for students. Through this website, we can see other educators develop their professionalism with literacy in the classroom.

[|6+1 traits] This website provides many lessons on incorporating writing into your classroom using six traits of writing. Organization, idea, word choice, voice, fluency, and conventions are the main areas discussed to guide students to successful writing. These lessons give flowing ideas that provide graphic organizers, reminders, etc. that aid educators to teach writing. All educators can use this website to steal ideas on incorporating writing into the curriculum.

[|Writing websites] This is a great website because it provides many links to other writing websites. There is something for every educator. One educator may approach teaching writing differently compared to another educator, but this websites will give teachers many aspects of writing approach, which then helps motivate the teacher to motivate the students.

[|Copyright laws] With this website, teachers are informed on the laws of copyright, but this website is specially made for teachers to introduce these laws to their students. I thought this would be important for teachers to inform themselves and students on because effective educators put a lot of effort into motivating students, and this may be used through digital media. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves and our students on what the actual copyright laws are.
