Teacher and Parent Resources

 

Below are just a few of the many resources available to teachers and parents on the internet. Remember to evaluate any site you may choose to use before having a student use it. Here are a few of my favorites.

The High Plains Regional Technology in Education Consortium-Nebraska project : [ http://hprtec.org/ ] - The HPR*TEC mission is to help teachers and other educators create, share, or find solutions to problems they encounter when integrating technology into education. Check out this site! They have just about enything you could want.

The Teacher Tap [http://www.eduscapes.com/tap/] - is a free, professional development resource that helps educators and librarians address common questions about the use of technology in teaching and learning by providing easy access to practical, online resources and activities

Instructional Assistance & Delivery Site:

Here are just a few of my favorite sites to get you started. 
When is it appropriate to use the internet?

Topics of information are time-based:

The
New York Times [ http://www.nytimes.com/ ] - on the web offers everything from markets to cartoons.
The
Tour de France [ http://www.letour.fr/2003/presentationus/ ] -  Great for geography
The Iditarod –[ http://www.iditarod.com/ ] -  Another great geography opportunity.

Various types or digitized versions of media and/or information are needed:

United States Patent and trademark office [ http://www.uspto.gov ] – has a digitized copy of every patent and you can view them and copy them.
The Library of Congress - [ http://www.loc.gov/ ] - great downloads of digitized material
Smithsonian on the web [ http://americanhistory.si.edu/ ] – American history maps and artifacts.
Journals, maps and videos are all available for the
Corps of Discovery II. [ http://www.lewisandclarkgnet.org ] –

The needed information is not available at your site:

NASA [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/ ] - tutotials with great graphics for instructional delivery in earth science.

Copyright Bay - http://www.stfrancis.edu/cid/copyrightbay/ - Great interactive site.

Great copyright information[ http://www.halldavidson.net ] - 
“Resource for educational technology leaders” [ http://www.techlearning.com ]

Various sources are important: Diverse and divergent viewpoints 

The Green party of North America [ http://www.greens.org/na.html ] -

The internet is more convenient:

Great archives [ http://www.archive.org/movies/prelinger.php ] - for old material from black and white dancing cigarette ads to old political television ads.
Sometimes this is more convenient than finding the
phone book [ http://www.yellowbook.com/ ] - and my reading glasses.
Occupational outlook handbook [ http://www.bls.gov/oco/ ]- index of jobs.
Online English [ http://www.edunet.com/english/grammar/toc.cfm ] - grammar helps
A guide for writing research papers[ http://webster.commnet.edu/apa/apa_index.htm ] - 
National Parks Service [ http://www.nps.gov/ ] - ; links to the past, Nature Net and Learn NPS all offer something for the student and teacher alike.
If you can’t get to the
University of Nebraska State Museum [ http://www-museum.unl.edu/index.html ] - this is the next best thing.
Omaha Public Library [ http://omaha.lib.ne.us/ ] - . For those In Omaha this site has very good resources.

And of vourse my favorite instructional delivery site that I use the most:

Home Depot [ http://homedepot.com ] - has tutorials for all of us that love to improve our home but are all thumbs.
