The internet provides an enormous resource for teachers, including subject-specific lesson plan ideas and online communities where teachers can exchange anecdotes and successes.
Web Lessons
Many teachers place their own lesson plans online for newer teachers who are looking for good ideas.
- Math Forums: Provides many math lessons.
- Lessons and Guides: Site that has compiled a list of web lesson links for teachers.
Class Webs
Contests, big projects, and other activities can go up on the class web to make the learning experience more fun. These sites also allow parents to keep up with their children’s accomplishments. One example is St. Mary’s Page.
Web Quests
Web quests can also be a valuable learning tool for teachers. Students learn more when they are engaged and having fun. Web quests are one of the best ways to ensure this. Many are available on the web for teachers such as webquest search which allows teachers to search for web quests.
