Free Resources
Scholastic: http://www.scholastic.com
This is an educational resource that is free and appropriate for grades K-12. There is an additional parent site that gives useful information on managing homework and creating discipline strategies. I have used this site numerous times for teacher assessment tools and lesson plans.
Pennsylvania Department of Education: http://www.pde.state.pa.us
This is the official PA Department of Education Website that has legal information and documents needed to be an Educator in the State of Pennsylvania. This is the site that has all of the Pa State Standards that educators must use when writing lesson plans, as well as the site in which pre-service teachers must go to to get their Standard Application for teaching. There is a news link that has current, up-to-date educational news as well as archived editorials and articles. Included on this website is other PA State Agency Links, as well as additional Online Services.
How Stuff Works: http://www.howstuffworks.com/index.htm
How do scientists make artificial bones? How do Quantum Computers work? How do landfills work? How does instant film work? These are just a few of the many questions that are explored on this free Website. This website has links to health, space, people, science, travel and more! There are expert reviews on consumer products, as well as an extremely valuable government link that tackles questions such as: How does E-voting work?, How do spies work? and How do copyrights work?
What a valuable tool for the student and educator! This free website will guide the student with a template to fill out when referencing under MLA, APA, and Chicago style!
This online tool was originally created by David Warlick of The Landmark Project and serves as a helpful guide in referencing materials. Despite the fact that there is not a 100% guarantee of accuracy because of the myriad characteristics in information sources, this Website is continually updated and analyzed for accuracy.
Time Line Builder: http://chnm.gmu.edu/tools/timelines/
This free site allows students to create and manage online timeline. There is a link to a useful tool called, Zotero.
