Electives

· Lesson Plans (instruction) - This is where Physical Education teachers can go to find good websites for lesson plans. These sites are very thorough and are great resources for teachers of any grade.

· Teacher Created Websites (instruction) - These are sites that teachers have created and can be used as resources for other teachers. They are very informative, and useful. I have given a description about each of the sites, and have also offered some recommendations

· Online Shopping (miscellaneous) – These are sites that are good for online shopping. I have picked, in my opinion, two of the best shopping sites for the following categories: browsing, auctions, surplus and clearance, gift giving and comparison shopping

· Virus Tip Sheet (utilities)– This is a great tip sheet to better inform computer users how to be warned about computer viruses and what to do in case one gets on your computer.
