Rationale: The chosen website demonstrates great ideas and activities which can be implemented within the classroom. The students need to be given a headset when undertaking these activities as music is played and needs to be listened. Great illustrations are shown, which will no intimidate the students, but rather encourage educational outcomes.

Website: http://www.teachingideas.co.uk/pe/contents.htm

Rationale: This is a physical educational website, providing teachers with additional ideas within the sports facilities. Since Queensland is implementing ‘get active’ in the schools, I suggest teachers apply this design within their classroom. This website offers great activities where students actively engage in appropriate exercise.

Rationale: This website is a general website consisting of many different topics and subjects, where students/teachers can select ideas and information. Contents such as Science and Mathematics, popular entertainment, Religion, society and government, reading, writing and speaking, literature, geography and history etc are evident, displaying educational development and success. All teachers can utilize this website whilst integrating key learning areas within technology and the classroom.

Rationale: This website contains interactive games and activities for students to engage in. This website could be aimed for the early finishers, as they are able to occupy themselves during class. This website provides great educational activities, allowing students’ mind to be active whilst developing the brain. I definitely suggest this website during game time or for the early finishers.

Website: http://www.teachingheart.net/fairyideas.htm

Rationale: The suggested site provides teachers with new ideas when promoting a fairytale. Proposals such as ‘making fairy tale headbands’ is a great suggestion when experiencing the pressure as a teacher. I strongly advise teachers who have just graduated to utilize this site within their classroom.

Website: http://cookps.act.edu.au/l_fairy.htm

Rationale: An engaging site dedicated to the rhymes of Mother Goose. The contents include a history of the Mother Goose tradition; tips for celebrating Mother Goose Day, rhymes and their corresponding recipes. These fairytales connect with the students when the teacher reads with expression. Teachers may print these stories out, forcing students to individually read and improve their reading skills and understanding.

Fleer and Jane explain in great detail on the different approaches to teaching technology education and how to utilize it within the classroom.
