I explored urbanspoon.com and imcooked.com. I really liked urbanspoon because it gave you different restaurants to try, however it did not have a lot of the menus for each restaurant. I like to try new places and it did provide me with locations and the kind of cuisine they offered. This website is not really something I would use in the classroom except for down time to let the students explore the world outside of Mesquite and what is available for them. Oh, and the website would sort out places by location, so if you wanted a restaurant in Rockwall you could look just at Rockwall. I thought that was completely neat.
The other website I chose to look over was imcooked.com and I really loved this one. You could look at different entrees, desserts, appetizers, and various kinds of recipes and actually watch on video the meal being prepared. I think this could be used in the classroom for numerous things. In Home Ec. or Family Planning the students could create their own video to post which would allow them to learn how to put something out there for all to see. It could also be a teaching tool for how to writing because some of the recipes are done to music with no dialogue so the student could watch and write the dialogue for them. I really liked this website and will save it to my favorites for my own use.
