Web-Resources

=Web Resources for Teaching=

There are literally thousands of resources on the internet for a teacher, beginning or experienced. I was told by a mentor 'don't re-invent the wheel' and it's true, doing that would make a teachers head explode with effort. Why spend all your time making resources .. you should be making good lessons. These are some of the sites which I have found to be particularly excellent.

[|Cur-rik-i] Cur-rik-i is a open community of teachers who are pooling resources in a wiki format. Based on the US core curriculum of Science, Language Arts, Maths, and Social Studies, resources from small activities, through to fully developed units are available. Whilst not covering ISP/IPT/SSD this site is full of good ideas and lesson planning examples.

Teachers TV Australia (and Teachers TV UK ) The Teachers TV sites are free video resources for teachers on a range of subjects. As a teacher you can gain visual information on teacher styles, Issues, and gain peer insight. The Australian site is based on the UK site and still reletively new, meaning a wider range of videos is available on the UK site, however the AU site has a large amount of locally produced content.

Educational Origami This site is dedicated to the use of ICT in the classroom, with a healthy smattering of Blooms Taxonomy and pedagogy information thrown in. The result is a page that can help you choose an effective ICT teaching strategy in minutes, and leave you knowing if you are choosing something that will connect with students in many ways.

Country Areas Program - Resources (NSW) This site has been collated by the Country Areas Program under govt. funding and is full of relevant local resources, including many NSW Lesson Plans - Secondary in core study areas. Again, no computing, but a lot of ideas to pillage.

(DET) Teaching and learning strategies A range of resources for you as a teacher.. touching on learning models, HOWTO's on reflecive journals, rubrics, and some teaching strategy examples.

Inspiring Teachers This is a sitethat seems at first to be brochure-ware, but also has quite a lot of useful snippets of information once you start to dig. The link goes to the 'Tips' section, which has some good idea on classroom management
