Here are some of the web resources that I have used:
1. The Smithsonian Education
The goal of the Smithsonian Education website is to have an impact as “the national education organization.” The website offers a multitude of journals for teachers and students to reference. The website browser for finding resources is user friendly and there is little to no issue with finding a particular subject. The unique item about the website is that it offers a browser to find each state’s standards of learning (SOL) by course subject. The SOL browser makes life easier for educators and students who are looking for a particular SOL for their respective state. The website also offers information on field trips, specifically, field trip work sheets and planning for a field trip.
2. PBS Teachers
The PBS Teachers website offers lesson plans, activities, videos, and interactive games for educators to reference and implement within their classrooms. PBS Teachers has information and materials for Kindergarten through 12th grade. The website browser is broken down by age group and you can filter through subject which makes finding material very simple. The website also offers teacher discussions where teachers can collaborate and discuss about material.
3. The National Education Association
The National Education Association (NEA) website offers lesson plans, current issues regarding education, and discussion/information about classroom management. The website’s browser is not as user friendly as the other websites that I have listed. The NEA was created to promote a better public school education system across all states and the majority of the site describes the road ahead to get to quality education for everyone.
4. The History Classroom
The History Classroom provides study guide materials to the many different history specials they offer. Teachers can show videos to their class with the corresponding study guides, such as,Jefferson. The students can refer to the discussion ideas listed in the study guide and reflect on the discussion questions throughout the series. The website browser is user friendly and it easy to find material.
5. The Federal Resources for Educational Excellence
The Federal Resources for Educational Excellence provides information all courses that are taught in public schools. Teachers and students can reference the website to find facts about a particular subject. The website does have a browser but it is not user friendly. It is best to use the drop down window for the subject you are looking for information rather than using the browser.
