A Teacher's Guide to the Website Galaxy

TGFWWW. This stands for: Thank Goodness For the World Wide Web! As I develop as a teacher and what my teaching style will become, of course I am learning of all the free resources available to me. This includes the Internet and in many ways the Internet is very useful in helping me form my own ideas and to tweak some of other teachers' ideas. But the problems that I often face include: which websites are liable and which are not, where can I find awesome activities to incorporate into lessons, what are some good websites that help my students research that will not waste time? (sigh) The Internet can be very frustrating, but very helpful, so I have come up with a list to help out my fellow teachers.

Teacher Resources
  • http://softschools.com/math/worksheets/lessthan_greater.jsp This site is great for adapting worksheets to fit your own lessons.
  • http://www.gamequarium.org/ This is a wonderful game site!
Student Resources
  • http://turnitin.com/static/index.html The website allows students to turn in papers or assignments and it regulates their original work by comparing it with other documents.
  • http://www.kidsclick.org/ An awesome search engine for kids
Professional Development
  • http://www.education.com/ Stay current with education news
  • http://www.education-world.com/a_curr/
I hope that these sites will help!

thanks for reading,

Kels
