USING TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION

WebQuests Activities Matrix

Look for a WebQuest on your topic that's been judged to be among the best. Hundreds of options for high school teachers to use!

Discovery School PuzzleMaker

Do yourself a favor - write the clues and answers in MS Word first, save them, then copy and paste into PuzzleMaker. Trust me, you'll be glad you did. It's a great free service, so give it a try - but not the same day you plan on using the puzzle!

RubiStar

A great, free way to create or find rubrics for projects or assignments. You decide the categories and what each indicator looks like, and it designs the rubric. Or choose from already-created rubrics available on the site.

The Gateway to Educational Materials

It is probably the most comprehensive and accessible source of on-line lesson plans. At this site, which currently boasts more than 4,500 educational resources, visitors can browse by keyword or subject list or search for specific topics at specific grade levels.

SOCIAL STUDIES

  • The White House - A rather comprehensive site concerning everything you'd ever want to know about the presidency and the federal government. Just make sure you type .gov, not .com. if typing at home or school. Trust me on this.
  • American Memory - From the Library of Congress. Simply the largest collection of original documents and photos available anywhere on the internet. It's that big.
  • CIA Factbook - Anything you want to know about a country, you can find here.
  • Flags of the World - Want a flag for a PowerPoint presentation, worksheet, test, or web page? You WILL find it here.  Even if it's Iceland's flag used from 1897 until 1915.
