The first website I would like to comment on is edhelper, a resource site for teaching professionals. I have found it to be user friendly but a bit on the boring side. It is great for generating literacy units as it includes a wide variety of comprehension question, and activities such word searches and vocabulary. I think it would be very useful for special educators that are looking for ways to increase their students' understanding.
Another website that I found interesting is webquest. I was astounded at the variety of sites it had to offer. There are some very good to excellent webquests but one needs to be cautious. There are also some sites that are unimaginative and would not capture a student's attention. I also found that some sites included perhaps too much information in the way of hyperlinks. It has to be tailored and specific to the task.

I agree Carol with webquest. There is a wide range of webquests and one needs to find those that are educational, fun and not too overwhelming.
I haven't used ed helper and plan on checking it out. User friendly is always good.
As for that tv remote..I'm not sure if I will ever have that figured out. They need one for the technologically impaired!!!
