[|Hot chalk website] The hot chalk website promotes professional development through creating a digital organization place. Hot chalk allows teachers to make lesson plans online. These lesson plans online will reduce space, time and make organization easier as it will all be online and automatic. If prep time is reduce the teacher will have more time to be focused on other matters such as going over lessons plans and making sure they are teaching well. Hot chalk also allows teachers to interact and collaborate with other teachers allowing them to gain feedback and further information to develop their professional skills. This website is very easy to use and is developed for everyone in the education department not just teachers. The website navigates easily through using different subtitles and allowing teachers to use resources on the website for their own personal lessons. Further more there are tutorials and videos that show you how to navigate the website.

[|edutopia] Edutopia is a very different website to Hot chalk. Edutopia has subtitles that allow you to search by grade level, learning and teaching style and also video's, blogs and communities. Edutopia is very easy to navigate. Although its does not consist of tools on the website that allow you to produce lesson plans and allow you to be organized it does have very specific subtitles that I feel will allow you to find specific lesson idea for what you want to teach no matter what the grade or teaching style you are looking for. Edutopia will allow you to develop your professional skills through finding perfect lesson ideas and being able to communicate with other teachers to achieve your full potential.
