information on the education debate, plus family pages and teacher
pages, and a search engine. |
| If you are part of an educational institution (and especially if
you're involved in distance learning), you can register here and use the
QuizCenter to make Web pages with quizzes. No downloading or
installation required, and no knowledge of HTML necessary. Examples and
directions provided. |

| Brief reviews on many current education-related books from smaller
publishers on this site created and maintained by Kate Corby. The
reviews are catalogued by author, title, subject, and publisher, and
users are asked to submit their own reviews if they like. Neat tool, and
nicely organized. |
| Put up by an Australian teacher, Education by Design contains math
games and puzzles, and provides the opportunity for children to publish
stories on the Net. Of special interest to parents are the short
explanations of current theories on how children learn spelling,
reading, math skills, etc. |
| This site offers separate entries and directed information for
students, parents, educators, and administrators in all parts of
Australia. If you teach in Western Australia, for instance, you can find
specific information and general resources about your job, curriculum,
classroom, and professional development. |
| This well organized online journal on education policy is in its fifth
year. You can read the full texts of all EPAA articles, browse their
abstracts, or submit your own article or commentary. |
| This popular hard copy publication contains articles and information
for educators, as well as "issues pages" that cover hot topics
in the education industry--topics like school vouchers, charter schools,
the Internet, and more. They plan to start charging for access shortly,
but at the moment they're offering it on a free trial basis. |
| "Where Educators Go To Learn," Education World is a great
source of current news on educational topics, lesson plans, curriculum
resources, teacher training, book reviews, discussion, and more. |

K-12 children as a source of their educational materials. They include a
Frequently Asked Questions section and resource sites for teachers. |
| Andy Carvin has put together this site "to explore the worlds of
educational reform and information technology," and he's done it
very well. Among his topics: the potential role of WWW in the classroom,
how to create your own web page, the information highway debate, and
computers and kids. Great education links. |
| Electronic School online contains articles from the quarterly print
version published by The National School Boards Association. Included

Makes Social Studies Come Alive," and "The 25 CD-ROM Titles
Every School District Should Have." |

create a system of employment and training services that would be low cost
and easily adaptable to changing conditions. Here you can learn about School-to-Work,
job training, corporate involvement, career resources, skill standards, and
more. |
| Encarta Schoolhouse brings you a current topic, such as Dig a
Dinosaur, and the articles, links, related learning activities, and
questions answered by an expert that bring that subject to life. There
are a dozen past topics in the archives, plus a teacher's lounge, chat
opportunities, and the Encarta Lesson Collection described above. |
| Educators, the EnviroLink Network, and the environmental community
have come together to bring environmental education online. Not only are
resources gathered for teachers, but for students, too! |

guidebook to more than 250 destinations." The geography, history,
arts, and culture information for these locations make this site a great
place to learn. |

science experiments are available on this site, a great resource for
teachers and students alike. |

modules relating to topics such as rainforests, El Nino, the Mars landing,

teacher help and opportunities for interaction. |
