I would share this resource with teachers via my library pages on the district website for them to use to enhance their lesson planning.

One of my goals this coming year is to expand the resources I know about for my math / science folks, since that isn't my natural interest or background. This Encyclopedia of Life source is amazing in its information and layout, but it also has a wealth of lesson plans for a variety of ages that tie directly to what our staff is teaching. The lessons are a blend of technology and other activities. A great resource to share with science teachers!

This lesson plan has students complete a scavenger hunt that requires them to explore the resources on Badgerlink. It could be adapted and used for students in upper elementary through high school.

Lesson plans for safely navigating social media and online activity.

I really like that this lesson has K-5 lesson plan options. It is a lesson about how to search non fiction text better for finding information during research lesson. It has a video on how you should be taking notes which is really nice since students usually don't know what they can get rid of in their notes and end up plagiarizing at times

This lesson can be used to teach elementary students about digital footprint. It has students look at information shared in sample Facebook pages and analyze what kinds of information are and are not okay to share online.

Student Privacy Lesson plan for students grades 6-12

This is a great lesson to use with elementary students to analyze text and meet Common Core standards. I liked that this lesson also uses Amelia Bedelia because you can then also discuss language and meaning and how her chores are always funny since she is literally doing what she hears.

This lesson plan may be used at the high school level, students may pick a product and improve the product. This lesson is based on the popular show "Shark Tank."

While looking at A Great List of OER Resources, I found G4C. I thought I'd see if there were any online games students could play to add to the immigration unit. Not only did I find a great one on iCivics called Liberty Belle's Nation, it also linked me to lesson plans with learning objectives, readings, a variety of activities to access comprehension, Scholastic Teacher links to interactive tour guides of Ellis Island, virtual field trip links, graphs with data, and (Scholastic) lesson plans on this topic, leading from the past to present.

My 4th and 5th graders last year were really into the Percy Jackson series. There are lots of lesson plans and ideas here that could be used to build on that interest and connect with multiple subject areas while doing so.

OER nutrition unit developed by Baylor College of Medicine. Great lesson plans with objectives, standards, and activities all laid out. Upper elementary teachers teaching nutrition unit or a middle school health class would find this source very useful.

I really like this open resource because there are a variety of subjects. I stumbled upon this lesson plan on money management and spending and I like it because it's very interactive. It has great graphics and holds the attention of the student. This could be used at the high school level in many classes such as psychology and business courses.

"Be Internet Awesome is a collaboration between Google and the Internet Keep Safe Coalition (iKeepSafe.org). It is "a multifaceted program designed to teach kids the skills they need to be safe and smart online." The resource includes a game called, Interland, that can be a stand alone tool as well as a full curriculum that enables teachers to teach digital citizenship fundamentals. The lesson plans are geared toward grades 3 to 5." It think this is a great free tool from Google that I had not heard about that allows teachers to gameify Internet Safety and Digital Citizenship. I played the game a bit and I wonder if maybe teachers should take it, as we had a phishing spam a few years ago where teachers gave personal information online to an email that looked like it came from our local credit union.
