To sum up my thoughts on "The Educator's Reference Desk": the bell just rang for the end of the school day and I just realized I spent a whole class period (50 minutes) wandering around in the site! I found rubrics, alternative assessments, a math lesson for tomorrow, a digital portfolio discussion which my team was just talking about yesterday!!!! Really good site. I'm only logging off because I have to leave soon to make it to Judy's class!
could postI was drawn to the 12th grade Shakespeare lesson on "The Educator's Reference Desk." This lesson focuses on the internet and email for technology, which prompted me to check its creation date--2000. I think a great update on the strong foundation of this lesson would be to create a wiki where students and teacher their findings and comments. Alternatively, students could perform the search as described and perhaps text each other in lieu of emailing. Not that there's anything wrong with good, old fashioned email!

"The Educator's Reference Desk" was a bag full of diamonds with a couple of cubic zirconium thrown in. For the most part I found it to be a great resource. I found lessons, assessments, ways to incorporate technology into the classroom, and many different interesting articles. I was a little upset though when I clicked on the how to set up your school TV show (schooltv.com) that it was like an ad. Granted I'm sure that you would need the stuff they were selling but I just wanted to read how to start one up, not buy products. Besides that it was yet again a great resource.
I agree this site has lots of excellent resources. I wish I knew about sites like this when I was just starting out as a teacher. I could have really used the ideas. There are so many great resources. I especially see myslef using this for areas where my town lacks in curriculum resouces, like science and social studies!
This site is overwhelming but awesome! I have been clicking away for a while now and feel as if I haven't even seen a large part of the site. I love the rubrics, assessments, and lesson ideas on this website. As a new teacher, this website will be very helpful next year! I look forward to using it. I was even thinking about using a rubric idea off of it for my upcoming lesson plan.
I checked out several of the lesson plans in "The Educator's Reference Desk" and found that it was lacking solid lesson plans. A lot of the lessons are teacher-directed rather than student-directed.
I love this website, and think it is a great resource for teachers! It is well organized, easy to navigate, and provides great lessons along with the tie to curriculum! I am definitely going to try the bubble fun activity with my preschoolers this week! I feel that I could spend days roaming the website for ideas on projects, themes, and activities to do with my class! Great post!
