Web Site for teachers

A great website for teachers of all ages that are filled with useful information about child development and learning styles, concept age appropriate activities and much more is education.com. This site is quite resourceful in the sense that it helps you guide your lessons with fun and interesting activities that teachers can introduce to the classroom. The website also has a feedback area that allows other teacher’s input on any project or activity that is listed on the site. When reading the feedback I find it to be quite useful because it kind of gives you a hindsight as to how you would like to prepare the classroom set-up in case of any potential mishaps that can occur.

The website caters from pre-school to K-12 grades that include activities in all subjects according to national education learning standards. Many of these activities are quite beneficial in helping students understand certain concepts compared to activities that just serve as pointless busy work. Another feature that I find useful about this website is their related teaching articles that they write or find in relation to improving the classroom for the teacher, student, and parent. These articles involve cognitive and social-emotional domains that many teachers and parents have to deal with on an every day manner with every age group of students. This site is also very easy to use for those who might not be as computer savvy as others; the website’s navigation page is quite simple and is split up in three formats. The page allows you to browse information based on topic, age, and grade level. There are also special features added where you can look for articles that they have published and more such as their E-learning page, Magazine Archive, worksheets, blogs, groups etc. This site has just about everything for everyone who is in the field of education and would like to implement interesting activities or projects to do with their students.
