Using technology resources in the classroom

I was looking for some useful resources from the internet that I can  use them in the classroom. There are a lot of great resources that will help in my future class such as lesson plans, strategies, and tools. I would like to share three things here. The first one is teachingenglish.org.uk 
This website provides a lot of different lesson plans in teaching English. For example, there is a lesson plan about writing class journal. The aim of this lesson plan  journals are to build the writing habit, by doing several journal writing activities during the class and to reflect on learning and to discuss this in class. The whole plan is focusing on the aims to teach. It is very useful.

The second one is 
americanenglish.state.gov
This is another website that provides teaching resources such as teaching skills and theme. There are some skills like grammar, critical thinking, and process writing. They are definitely will be a benefit in teaching. 
The third one is
ielanguages.com
This is another website that provides plenty of lesson plans This one is different because it also contains worksheet for each topic. Students can do the exercises for practice.
 
 I think all of them are very useful and will be a great resource in teaching English. The one that I think it's most useful is the first website I mentioned. The lesson plans are well-organized. Each one includes the teaching materials, discussion, and class activities. It will help the lesson move smoothly.
