I received four new computers in my classroom about two weeks ago. All computers have Internet access. I have now incorporated these computers as a center or workstation in my classroom. My students are using the computers to reinforce phonics skills taught whole group. I even use the computers to help students with writing ideas and editing their work. The computers have been a wonderful asset. During whole group my students are doing better with the phonics skills that I used the computers to reinforce.
Here are the websites that I use and would like to use to continue to teach phonics skills and would like to teach reading skills:

Also, I have a new idea for pushing for more interactive and creative writing: blogging. I believe this will also assist my students with keyboarding skills. I think that I will have a class blog and students will use the blogs to write and share creative fiction stories with their classmates. I will also have them to write about various things such as about their family, house, and their favorite holiday. Blogging will help students to become more relaxed with writing and as a result be creative.
