1. How to Create a Blog Website, []

This website demonstrates how to create a blog web site in a very easy but effective step by step video. The demonstrator walks the viewer through the process by actually doing it on the blogger website. I chose this website as a part of my pre-training requirements for my workshop because students will be asked to participate in a blog in order to share their number sense materials and experiences with each other. This website seemed to be the most basic but informative website I found. 2. Filamentality, []

This website is an online tutorial website that focuses on creating webquests and websites for your students. This website helps you to plan and design your website in order to meet your needs for the classroom. It provides step by step instructions, handouts, a virtual tour, and formats/templates that you can use. I chose this website because as part of my workshop I would like teachers to be able to create a webquest and implement it into their math instruction. This website is effective, easy to use, and very thorough.
