We all know teaching can be difficult. But it can
be made easier by knowing where to go for ideas, discussions, and lesson
plans. Included below is a list of websites that I've visited and
have found to be very useful. I hope you do, too!!
Classroom Connect's "Connected Teacher" This is a particular page within Classroom Connect's HUGE website. It's a good resource for teachers. You'll find discussions, lesson plans, and ideas for professional teachers. It's also filled with links to other great sites, more than can be included here.
Discovery Channel School This website is part of The Discovery Channel. The main categories on this page are TEACHERS, STUDENTS, and PARENTS. Within each is a wealth of valuable information. Students can get help with homework, play games, or explore. Parents can get tips on the best educational software and learn how to help with homework. Teachers can get a comprehensive list of valuable links and lesson plans.
The New York Times Learning Network What can you expect from the New York Times Learning Network? The same high quality and informative information you get from their daily newspaper. It's well-organized, easy to use, and is bound to be of use to ANYONE. Main pages are also organized for TEACHERS, STUDENTS, and PARENTS.
Searchopolis Searchopolis has anything and everything you could ever need in the way of research and reference. It's geared mostly towards junior and high school students, but there's also some fun stuff here, too. A great place to visit if you have a paper to write. Students can also be sent to this site to do research on just about any topic. A GREAT reference section!
Virtual
Field Trips Vicki Blackwell's site is filled with cool stuff for students
and teachers alike. Students can visit places as they go on a "virtual
field trip" to points around the world. Some even feature VR-Images,
which is an interactive 360 degree picture than can be explored as if you
were standing there yourself. Check it out!
Education World This is another great site aimed particularly at educators. Their database is categorized by subjects taught, from elementary through high school. There's also LOTS of lesson plans and ideas!! You're BOUND to find something useful here.
Cool Math The title says it all! This is a relatively new site, with updates ready by the coming school year. There's something for kids, parents, and teachers. It's all very well-designed, easy to use, and filled with cool math stuff!!
For any teachers serious about literacy, New Zealand is
the place to go for some of the most innovative and effective strategies
in getting children to read and write. Did you know that New Zealand is
the most literate country in the WORLD???? There was a time when I was
seriously considering teaching in New Zealand, and still hope to someday.
