Many teachers work hard to keep up to date with the latest in educational advancements, curriculum design and general information. Usually, this means taking classes at night or during the summer. With open courseware, however, you can learn about a wide range of topics, from classroom behavior to using the latest technologies at your own pace. While it's no substitute for real classroom education, it can provide an invaluable supplement and guide to your educational pursuits and classroom management. Check out these 60 places to find course materials to keep you on top of the teaching game.\n\n

For a web-based learning to be truly effective it must be interactive. This means that it is not just a reformatted canned lesson of printed worksheets placed on the web. The web-based activity is inquiry-based and incorporates the full features available on the web - interactivity between computer and student. The learning activity must engage student critical thinking skills by using the scientific inquiry process.

Teaching math to elementary students is critical for establishing a foundation of success in mathematics. There is a need for some basic memorization of facts, because students who do not memorize arithmetic functions struggle in upper grades. However, math must be fun and interesting, along with making connections with real-world applications.

David Wetzel on 18 Jun 11

As former elementary science and math education professor, I was always encouraging preservice teachers to teach science and math from a hands-on, minds-on perspective. My goal was single minded in the sense that for students to learn science and math their curiosity must peaked. This was always a challenge because most of these preservice teachers learned science and math by rote memorization of facts. Their prior knowledge and experience had few opportunities to actually investigate science phenomena and truly understand the usefulness of math.
