This is another site similar to the ones we've already seen. Teachers are able to connect with one another and share ideas. There are some really great pointers on this site.
A resource for teachers to find help or resources related to specific math and science areas and topics. A sort of social networking site for both math teachers and science teachers.
This is a great source, I believe. Teachers can use this as a on-going project throughout the semester to catalog the work of their students throughout the year. There are several ideas I can come up with to how this would be useful:
1. In a math classroom, students can catalog the important knowledge they aquire and would like to remember after the year is complete. Throughout the semester, students create pages/files to be uploaded to their e-book, or go in and manually add information that they find important in their lessons. They can use their e-books as a source of reference throughout the year, and in future years. As a teacher, you can also use this source to upload important assignments to the reference, so students can reflect back on them at a later date.
2. Science teachers can use this to create a class-create book covering the information that they have covered in class, as well as to document research students have come across on their own. This could be compiled of student assignments/projects/research/etc that students complete through their unit. And then the teacher can publish the e-book allowing students to have access to their work.
This is a great resource because it motivates students to do better, knowing that their work is available for view by not only the teachers, but their peers, and others online.
This sight is an interactive resource for teachers of all content areas in Highschool. It has flash games and visual aids on core subject content, that can help create a more interactive and visual class. Pbs also has blogs for parents and teachers to connect on many of the content areas.
NCTM is a website that is very helpful to teachers to meet others and constantly learn new ways of teaching. This is a resource that takes care of the big picture of education.
Council in which math teachers and students planning to teach math can join. This is the national council but there is a local one and that is the North Carolina Council of Math Teachers.
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics: Middle School Resources. Provides focal points, math problems, student activity sheets, weekly problems, tips for teachers, and lessons and activities.
This is a great source for Middle Grades Mathematics Teachers (or any level Mathematics teachers.). It can be used to find supplemental instruction such as activity sheets, daily problems and tips on different issues with your students.
The pbs site has a lot of good tips for teachers for a classroom in the k-12 setting. It has a lot of good ideas for activities in the classroom for every subject. As a foreign lanuage teacher, I found some good things under the reading and language arts tabs.
The other day when we went to the library the lady(can't remember her name) who showed us some resources mentioned this website. So here it is! Just click in the grade you wanna teach and voilà!
This website helps teachers improve their teaching through media and telecommunication. It has ideas for teaching across the subject areas, but I really love the Language part. My teacher from FLED4200 showed us a video made by this teacher who was teaching German 1 and it was amazing! Anyway, check it out!
National Science Teachers Association - MIddle School Science. Provides science teachers with books, articles, publications, "Science Scope" journal for high school science teachers, and links to additional materials/websites for Middle School Science teachers.
This is an absolutely free website that allows teachers to create quizzes, exams, worksheets, study guides, etc. Once created, you save the document on Quizinator ... you / your students are able to access these documents!! It really is a really cool resource!
This website is a Teachers resource website from Scholastic. It provides teachers with lesson plans, activities, teaching strategies, book lists, etc. They are organized by grade levels.
Here you'll find what we consider to be the best resources for teaching math at all levels. This space is not only for teachers, but has also been built in part by teachers.
This is a great source for science teachers. It is a way to provide students with a glimpse at the lives of modern day scientists. There is a tab for teachers which provides tips for teachers (lesson plans, 5 minute tasks to do in class, project ideas, homework assignments), web resources, video clips, etc.
This page allows you as a teacher to create a website. This allows other teachers to use it and help them gain knowledge in subjects that they might be teaching that are the same as you. Also it could help you out because other teacher could put some feed back on your website which will help you think of things that you might not have earlier.
