This website offers cyberguides for teachers to use in their classroom for many famous english books. It gives complete lesson plans that may be used and online games for students to help better understand the stories. It gives a large variety of books for teachers to be able to choose from. I believe this could be very useful if a teacher wants to get away from the textbook for awhile and try something a little different in his or her classroom. It is a fun way to interact in a different way with the children and it gives them some variety in the classroom. I believe that the main goal of this website is to allow teachers to use this tool in their classroom to help students learn about technology and different ways to use technology.

This website has an assessment that uses vocabulary that each student should know according to their grade level. You could give this assessment the first week of school to see where your students stand in their vocabulary knowledge, you could put them into groups according to their vocabulary knowledge, let them work with each other on vocabulary according to what their weak points are. Do not let the students see their score on the assessment, so they do not make fun of the other students who may have not done so well on it. This website's main goal, in my opinion, is to allow teachers to get a good idea of where their students are according to their vocaulary knowledge.
