A site funded by an educational endowment from Verizon, this website has some good professional development articles about how to adapt news into lessonplans, tips on creative lessons and twenty-first century skills, and a database of lesson plans searchable by subject ans age.

I'd never heard of this site before, thanks for sharing! One thing I found to be pretty neat, is the community discussions forum. Many controversial topics are being debated, such as: "Should schools continue to teach cursive writing?" It is important for teachers to keep their students' engaged and interested in their learning, but it is equally important for teachers to stay engaged.

Thank you for sharing this site. I went through some of the different lesson plans and I am excited to be able to use them sometime. I wish I would have known about this resource when I was trying to make lessons for my level twos. It had so many different ideas for lessons. I looked at one about the Gettysburg Address and it was a great and thought provoking lesson.

Free resources provided by the federal government. A good source of lesson materials and plans.

Wow, this site is a gold mine for free resources. You can navigate the website by subject (History for example) then click on sub-categories like World War I. It list free resources and the websites where you can find them. This would be a good resource for teachers or for students as the research or create projects.

This is a great tool to give teaching tips, ideas for lessons, and some ideas about incorporating technology as well.
