Internet for Teachers

This website is a great way for teachers to learn about ways in which they can utilize technology to keep their students excited. Although we may not all agree about changing our ways we can still intertwine some differences to better suite the needs of our students.

This is a great site for children to explore and understand energy. Students have access to many games and activities. This site can start as a basis for ideas for lessons and is a great source for students to learn about the world around them.

This portion of the Smithsonian Institute's website is dedicated to children. The section entitled "Mr. President" gives really great overviews and portraits of each president, from George Washington to Barack Obama.

This is a really neat virtual tour and panoramic views of the battlefields in Gettysburg. There are also links to each monument by type (equestrian, commemorative, hospital, etc.) or by state.

The National Geographic Kids website has everything from videos and current news stories to recipes and crafts that will get children excited about learning.

This is a great report on inclusion in the classroom. The author spent a year chronicling the daily events and issues surrounding Classroom 506 at the Manhattan School for Children.

This is a really neat site where students can take a virtual tour of the annex where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II. They can learn what their daily lives were like as well as read short biographies on all the people who were in hiding in the building and the people who helped them survive while they were there.

This is the website for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It contains lesson plans that can be used to integrate works of art into core classroom subjects.

Journey North is a great website that tracks the migration patterns of butterflies, birds, and whales as well as seasonal changes. There are kids' sections for each topic. This site is full of information, lesson plans, printable worksheets, and additional resources.

This site is great for interesting documentaries about topics in American History. It also has many articles and primary documents to use in the classroom before and after you stream the episodes in your classroom.

I use this website to print a copy of the Constitution for all of my students at the beginning of the semester.  I also use it for activities related to the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and the Bill of Rights.

This website has resources for teachers such as activities and lesson plans.  It has games for students, and they love them!  I set up all of my classes and the students sign up for an account within the first week of school!

This will be a great online activity for my students to complete as they learn about the Presidency.  Activities are associated with each topic discussed.

This whole website is great for resources about the Holocaust, but the maps are excellent visuals for students to understand the issues of the Holocaust.

Students can use this site to see how their views align with political officials running for office.

Teachers can use this website for activities and resources related to WWII.  

Students can research a bill in Congress by typing in a topic.  Then I have my students write a letter to their Senator or Representative about the bill they found.

Primary Sources, lesson plans for teachers, activities for students.  Great Interactive timeline.

I mainly use this website for the court case overviews, but there are plenty of other uses of the website.
