Internet Websites:
1. Title: Exploring Florida Website URL: [] Summary: This website has a lot of different resources for teachers to use. It has a lot of different sections for teachers and students to use. Sections such as: photos, movies, music, Florida in 3D, websites, and virtual reality. I really enjoyed the map section. It had it split up where you could browse maps by area or by theme. That section had over 6,000 Florida maps from historic and contemporary Florida. Many of those maps include interactive jigsaw puzzles, and special KMZ files which let you place the map over Google Earth. 2. Title: Florida Memory: State Library and Archives of Florida. Website URL: [|http://www.floridamemory.com] Summary: This website has different links that have a Florida Photographic Collection, an online classroom, different highlights of Florida, collections, and exhibits. The exhibits tab was interesting because it took you through an interactive tour of Florida’s history. The highlights section is a lot of different and rare documents about Florida’s history. I thought it was cool that on the side bar it had a blurb about something that happened in Florida about Black history month. 3. Title: Florida Citrus Website: [] Summary: This website is all about Florida’s Citrus. It has recipes for children to make that have Florida’s citrus used in them, and provides a recipe of the week and the Florida Citrus cookbook. It has a link all about health and nutrition. It also has a link that was just for kids and for schools. When you click the school link it had teachers guides and resources and recommended reading. I clicked the teachers guide and it came up as a pdf file. It was 88 pages of different lesson plans you can use in the classroom. Each lesson plan had all the objectives stated as well, which I thought was nice.

Michelle Wilbanks' Websites 1. Harcourt School Publishers http://www.harcourtschool.com/menus/auto/19/73.html#3 This website offers activities that teachers could do with their students in class, or assign as homework. One of the activities from our unit has the students look at a roadmap and then using a scale and chart, graph the mileage. There is also an area of the website where teachers and parents can go to find more activities and websites that correlate with the different units. 2. Florida Citrus Land http://www.floridajuice.com/ The Florida Citrus Land website is a great resource for teachers because it has a unit plan already laid out for teaching students about Florida’s citrus. The website gives some history, recipes, nutrition facts, games and activities for students, and resources and recommended reading. 3. Apples 4 The Teacher http://www.apples4theteacher.com/usa-states/florida/ This website is full of activities and information about Florida. Most of the things on this website require teachers to go on to ahead of time and then print things out for the students. There is also a great resource for teachers that lists a lot of different books about, or relating to Florida. For example: Sunny Numbers by Carol Crane, which can also be used for a math lesson for younger students.
