Teacher Resources on the World Wide Web

For the Educators at Franklin Elementary School

Web Class - TEC 912 - Final Project -- June 2003

Tim Davis




A collection of sites of possible interest to teachers. I visited each of them, and found something of interest at each one. However I did not go through every possible page or link, so you may come across a reason for not including that site or sites in this list. If you should, I would really like to know so that I can check it out and remove it if necessary. Also if you come across another new site that you feel should be included, please let me know. Please feel free to rate these sites for applicability, usability, quality, or any other standard you may wish to use. I would like to incorporate our own ratings system into this page.

There's a lot here. Take your time and visit a few sites. I think you'll find something helpful, or at least fun, somewhere in here.
