Research for TechQuest Project

So far, I have been searching for a lot of information that can help me in my classroom with my organization problems.  I have been getting a lot of help from the people I work with.  From the research I have done online, my collegues and I have gotten together and adapted it to my individual teaching techniques and classroom.

For behavior charts, I tried to come up with my own, but searched for different kinds to look at on the Internet to get my ideas from.  I typed "behavior charts" into http://www.bing.com/ and found http://www.freeprintablebehaviorcharts.com/.  While on this website, I also read other good information about controlling tempor tantrums and awesome resources for my curriculum I am putting together for my EI classroom.

When I search in http://www.bing.com/ or http://www.google.com/ for "behavior curriculum," "emotional impairment lessons," or anything within this nature, in the past, the searches have always come to a "dead end."  I don't know what specific title to search for in the search engines.  I have been able to come up with specific lessons (such as the ones in http://www.freeprintablebehaviorcharts.com/), but haven't been able to come up with a person's curriculum that has been made in the past.  I hope to make my curriculum available to others on the web so that they can have the access that I haven't had in the past.

When I look for simple lessons for my students with learning disabilities, I have had success in http://www.abcteach.com/.  These are very simple lessons that I use for my students to use in time fillers in my room.  These are worksheets I use to supplement my lessons I use in the classroom.

The website exchange.smarttech.com is very valuable in my classroom.  I have successfully found color-coded flip charts to keep track of behavior in my classroom, spelling games to practice with my students who need more encouragement, and math lessons that give one-on-one help with encouragement to my students who have learning disabilities.

These websites, search engines, and ideas I have found are very helpful to my plan of organizing my classroom with the help of technology.  I want to be able to get everything online and ready to go by January of this year, and so far I am on schedule.
