Great resource for librarians to learn more about their field, libraries, advocacy, and of cource literature. It always has good info on trends in teen literature.
This works with google earth. Teachers can create lessons on google earth that are centered around literature. This will take the student to the place on the "map". The teacher can embed bits or bytes of information there for the student to view.
This is a literacy website for preschoolers. It has resources for online activities, children's literature, technology, webquests and lessons for the young child.
This website has great articles dealing with libraries and stories that keep you up to date on whats up and coming. It also is a great tool that has tips on social networking, and interesting literature-related videos.
This website provides short videos of 'teachers-in-action'. My personal favorite is China through Mapping, as you follow an Early Childhood Teacher through the steps of a class-created GIANT map, all while learning about China. \nThe entire site is filled with great videos that 'teach teachers' about great classroom ideas!
K-12 resources in arts, foreign languages, literature, language arts, math, science, and social studies. These resources can be accessed for FREE at Learner.org or can be purchased through the website.
This page would be helpful for librarians searching for professional development opportunities. It includes handouts to use in your library, ideas, institutes, online courses, articles about library issues, opportunities for learning, and much more! I had fun exploring this site.
