This website provides free study guides for many subject areas, including Literature, US History, Poetry, and Civics. I am way excited about it, because teachers need study guides sometimes, too! It would be a great way for students to find a compilation of information to use for projects or to study for tests.
This is a federal web page that lists some habits in their children parents (and teachers!) need to watch out for that could signal harmful Internet usage.
A member of our class shared this on their blog. It's another great site for finding material with flexible copyrights that are easier for us to use and reuse on the Internet or in projects.
This blog includes a lot of videos about interesting ways to use different technologies. Some of the technologies featured so far have been Google Wave, iPod Touch, Nintendo Wii, Wiki, Twitter, Wordle, and even VoiceThread. Check them out!
This poet shows an excellent example of how a poem should be presented. Mike uses everything from relating to the audience, truth not fact, and his movements are purposeful.
I found this list of tips from another teacher, actually, but I thought it would be handy to use for a poetry unit. I love what it says about how to write successful poetry, and even perform it. It's great!
I found this website that offers free graphic organizers for teachers to help them provide a varied, exciting curriculum. These GOs can be used in all subjects. I think it is important to include organizers such as these in our curriculum to especially assist in students with special needs and culturally/linguistically diverse individuals. Enjoy!!
