Cask of Amont. by Edgar Allan Poe. Comprehensive lesson plasn with clearly defined aims and standards. Wonderful enrichment activities and ideas on triggering prior knowledge in students.
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 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.
Each publication covers important topics and concepts and includes exemplary online lessons and activities, a review of the needed content knowledge, and the related national mathematics or science standards.
