44. In Conclusion Keep searching for sites. There are new sites every minute. Always make sure you try sites out BEFORE you use them with students Never let students surf the net especially young students Make sure you have some sort of directed study while using the Internet. Tell or show students sites to use. Most of all the Internet is a GREAT resource for every math classroom and teacher. Make sure you are using it. And have fun!
