 * 1.** **DSOKids.com (2011)** **Listen By Instrument. Retrieved April 25th, 2011 from []**


 * This page [|Listen By Instrument] from DSOkids.com is a really great place for students to be able to hear audio clips of what specific instruments sound like. It's very easy to use and navigate, and has a clean and easy to undersand lay out. The clips are of great quality too, which is not always the case when looking for web sites like these. Highly recommended.**


 * 2. mathcs.duq.edu (1997). The Guide to Symphony Orchestra Instruments. Retrieved April 25th, 2011 from []**


 * [|The Guide to Symphony Orchestra Instruments] is a great site for students to get some information about the specific instruments they are studying. Unfortunately the audio clips provided on this site are not the greatest, and I would recommend the above source for audio clips instead. However, this is a great site for students to get a brief overview about the instrument they chose to study.**


 * 3. sfskids.org. Instruments of the Orchestra. Retrieved April 25th, 2011 from []**


 * This [|Instruments of the Orchestra] page is a great place for students to both learn about their instrument and hear what they sound like. The lay out is more kid friendly but still provides great information and audio clips. Your students will have a lot of fun on this page.**


 * 4. lessonplanspage.com (2011). Music Lesson Plans, Ideas, and Activities. Retrieved April 25th, 2011 from []**


 * This page, [|Music Lesson Plans, Ideas, and Activities], offers a large amount of music based lesson plans for many grade levels. The only thing that I do not like about this side is the amount of adds here, but if you have a good pop up blocker and internet security, it's worth digging through to get to the lessons. Enjoy!**


 * 5. floridastandards.org (2010). Next Generation Sunshine State Standards. Retrieved April 25th, 2011 from []**


 * This [|page] allows you to locate the Sunshine State Standards for just about any grade level and subject. I found it very useful because I was able to locate a standard and be sure that my lesson plan would meet this standard. I think this is a great resource for all teachers to have and use.**


 * 6. flickr.com (2011). Flickr. Retrieved April 25th, 2011 from []**


 * [|Flickr] is a really great place for students to find images to use on projects. Many people typically use google, yahoo, or other various search sites for this, but Flickr is different and provides many more images and variety.**


 * 7. sweetsearch.com (2010). Sweet Search. Retrieved April 25th, 2011 from []**


 * Sweet Search is a search engine for students, sort of like google, but geared towards students rather than the general public. I would suggest this as a search and research tool for students rather than google or yahoo.**


 * 8. www.glogster.com (2011). Glogster. Retrieved April 25th, 2011 from []**


 * Glogster is a really great place where you can make fun and interactive 'glogs' for your students. You can provide information about a topic, links to resources, videos, graphics, you name it! Here's an example of a [|glog] my partner and I made for my Education Class!**
