This is going to be one database which I will go to over and over again. It has an awesome section titled Teacher Resources which looks like a very interesting place to visit often. It has a section on the 21st Century literacies. It also has a curriculum collaboration section. This will be helpful because many schools are going to a lot of cross curricular activities. It has another section about ethical researching. This is one of the things that I think students have difficulty understanding and especially internet based information. Many students think because it is on the "net" it is true. I found an awesome feature. If a school is using google apps there is support on this site for them if they are having trouble with this application. There is a blog on this site as well. The last section which I thought is really nice is the sticky note cards which are available. Be sure to check out this site; its features are great.

This site contains actual documents from the trials in Salem Village in 1692.  I searched for this site because I once taught The Crucible and think that students would enjoy seeing the court documents that they read about in the story.

This site is joint venture between the U.S. Institute of Museum & Library Services, the Wisconsin Historical Society, and National History Day. The site offers thousands of pages detailed eyewitness accounts from a number of different groups of people. The documents record the first encounters of the Native Americans and those coming into contact with them for the first time.

This website is good for the Language Arts teacher or classroom. It has many links to primary sources regarding Shakespeare and other English topics. If a teacher were to delve deeply into the meaning or topics of Shakespeare's works, this would be a good place for students to get information.

An excellent child friendly website for the student of Native Americans. Included on the site are links to many tribes, their legends, treaties and agreements.

This site draws from a number of collections (University of California Berkeley, The California Historical Society, and hosted by the Library of Congress). It includes photos, artwork, letters, diaries, and legal documents. The documents touch on the Immigration experience for people coming to the West Coast from China as well as document many of the contributions made by Chinese Immigrants.

Fabulous! As a former drama teacher, this site is a must for anyone wanting original documets from Shakespeare's plays. The site drills down further for each play, going to detailed documents that are related to the plays. Study guides, lesson plans. This is the definitive source for Shakespeare anything. There is nothing as complete and authoritative as the Folger library for Shakespeare information, whether student or teacher.

Fifth grade math objectives: * Use a double bar graph to compare sets of data. * Interpret and make line graphs and double line graphs. Use tool AFTER collecting data. Follow up with what data means!

online graphing tool

Excellent site to learn more about graphs. Students can create own graphs, there is a tutorial included as well.

This is a kind of database of author interviews that would be awesome to share during an author study unit.

Thanks for the heads up on this great site. I found lots of good reading info I plan to share with primary teachers and parents.

I chose this site because it appears to cover all students K - 12. It has lesson plans, worksheets, and activities for all 13 grade levels. It also has helps for teachers in grades K - 12. The website has various activities which can be used directly on the web and others for paper and pencil activities.

This site offers lots of documents and information about the Salem Witch Trials. I use this site in my American Literature class when we are reading "The Crucible".

This seems to be a good site for U.S. history. It separates lessons by ERA. It incluseds worksheets for each ERA as well as documents which are related to the ERA. There are pictures from each of the ERAS and various teaching activities. I would use this site for the 9-12 grade student with the possibility of use with middle school students.

This site contains links to help students better understand weather maps, weather symbols, and weather systems. The students could use the weather symbols information in conjunction with local weather newscasts to predict their local weather.

This site is a service of the U.S. Government Printing Office has hundreds of U.S governmental documents sorted into the following categories: cornerstone documents, Congressional, presidential, judicial, regulatory, demographic, economic and miscellaneous. This site would be great for social studies students who are studying U.S. history, or those who are comparing our government to other countries.

This website has a list of the "cornerstone documents" from our government. Many of these documents like the Bill of Rights, Constitution, and declaration of independence are the documents our country's laws were founded on. Very easy for students to access the most important documents.

From the Government Printing office... a fabulous and most interesting collection of links to primary and "Core" government documents -- the Declaration of Independence, Presidential Papers, Supreme Court decisions, and more! Great basic resource to help you "GET TO THE SOURCE!"

Just one of the many detailed sites listed in this directory. The entire site has categories in every curricular area. Live links to magazine articles, podcasts, news, etc. This site is an excellent reliable resource for librarians who are working with teachers to design research projects.

Facts about states presented in kid friendly format, information is up-to-date, would be a nice companion piece for states research done in fourth grade. Consider pulling data from this site to use in making charts and graphs (fifth grade). Lincoln Public Schools - social studies - U.S. Regions - grade 4 * Regions are composed of states with capitals * Each region has unique characteristics: geography, climate, food sources; plants and animals; people and culture, landmarks

This site, sponsored by the US Census Bureau, introduces elementary students to basic information gathered in the US Census. The student clicks on a state and is given information about that specific state, including population, age of residents, the number of households, and the urban and rural populations. Information is offered for the 1990 and 2000 census, so students can compare figures.

This site seems to be a good one for 4-12 grade levels. It has interactive weather sites, the ability for students to make up their own interactive sites. There is a weather channel they cna visit. They can alos explore a site called the "Weather Eye", one called, "Accuweather", and one called, "USA Today Weather. At each of these sutes there are various other sites to go to to do different activities. This site would be a good one of which a school teacher librarian should be aware.

Summary of gender research as it relates to school media and teaching in general. Good links to other resources.

This site would be useful in the American Literature classroom because there is a ton of information on various literature. Students could find information about early American Literature, women authors, as well as poetry. I have actually used Paul Reuben's site (which is included in a link on this page) for my American Literature classes. There's a lot of background information teachers can use to help instruct students on the literature (criticism, interpretations, etc).

This is an amazing site that is current.  It is called the National Security Archive.  It has recent documents from the Iraq War, the Torture Archive and September 11th.  This site would be excellent for many classrooms.  A current events teacher might use it, as well as history, language arts, or government.
