W.o.W! Defined
May 19, 2008 | Tagged education, Internet, websites | Leave a Comment
I’ve added a new page to the blog titled “W.o.W!” It stands for Website of the Week and is a project I’ve been working on all year long, finding educationally useful websites for teachers to use, either for themselves, with students, or to share with parents. My basic criteria include: ad free, free content (why should we be forcing other teachers to pay for ideas???), as well as being well organized and visually appealing (who wants to use ugly sites?). There are a few exceptions to these rules, but that’s only because the content is really, really good…and some do require a free account sign-up. I’ll be adding to the list weekly, which you’ll see on my home page as well as on the W.oW! page. I’m also always looking for great sites, so please feel free to send links (and yes, I always try to give credit where due). 
One other question: what helps you to find the best sites? Do you like them organized by content, grade level, type of use, etc…?
