o Resources by discipline
Here’s an early summer vacation present for you.
The following are some internet resources that you may find helpful. You may find some you already know, but you may also find something new. All you need to do is click on the link. If one isn’t of interest (it may be for a different age group than you teach, for example), move on and try the next. If any links are no longer working, I apologize.
Explore and see if you can find 1) resources you can add to your Edline pages, 2) resources students can use to complement what you’re doing in your classroom, 3) resources to help you present lessons. Enjoy.
