Engrade makes it possible for students to easily access their grades. It also allows them to view their upcoming tests and quizzes as well as any homework assignments that will be due. I choose this website because i thought that it would help the students stay organized and caught up on their work.

Gameclassroom is a good website to help kids practice their math. It challenges them but still makes it fun so that they do not get bored with what they are doing. I think this will be helpful because it gives the students a fun but challenging way to practice the math that they are learning in school.

Trackclass sends students reminders and notes to help them stay organized and to remind them of upcoming assignments they have due. You can keep notes on this program that can be easily accessed so that students have no trouble finding them and reviewing them before a test or quiz. I think this program will be helpful to students because it keeps them on track and gives them reminders of due dates.

Gramlee checks students papers for grammar, punctuation, spelling, structure, and readability. I feel that this would be helpful to students because many times students get points taken off of their papers because of simple mistakes that they missed while they were proofreading. If they sent their papers to gramlee before they turn it in then they wont have to worry about missing easy points on their papers.

Sortfix gives you the best ways to search the internet. It helps improve you search result, giving you better information. I feel that Sortfix will be beneficial to students because many times they have trouble finding legitimate information needed to write research papers or to do other assignments.

Having the right resources when you are trying to learn makes all the difference. Providing the right sources for students is something that i hope i can always do for my students and i feel that i will be able to do so by using some of the web 2.0 apps.
