HIT-->Favorite Teacher Resources on the Net

[Evie Funk <EVIE@VAX1.MANKATO.MSUS.EDU>]

Dear LM_NET Friends,
Here are the responses I got to my request for favorite resources for teachers
on the gopher and WWW.  I hope you have as much fun exploring these sites as
I did.  Thanks again, for all your help.  Being able to point out some of these
excellent resources helped make my teacher inservice a big success! -Evie Funk

  I thought you might be interested in two items
which I compiled and posted on the Internet. One is
K-12 Internet Nuggets  It can be found on the
Eisenhower National Clearinghouse gopher under
Reference Materials.
The second item is a newsletter which I publish on
a monthly basis. It is in two versions, electronic
and print. The title is World Link. It is free to
educators. If you want the print version for the
1994 - 95 school year, just send 9 self-addressed
stamped envelopes. AskERIC points to the newsletter.
On the main menu of AskERIC point to Electronic
Journals.
I also wrote a step-by-step instruction manual
targeted to K-12 teachers on how to navigate the
Internet. It is available from Greyden Press
Information about the book can be found in the About
World Link Newsletter.

The Whole Internet Catalog available through GNN
(Global Network Naivgator) is easy to use and very
comprehensive. I access it through the gopher server
here at my university site.  I am not sure how to
access from another site.  You might try WWW since
the menus are in hypertext.  The various documents
and articles that are available through this
cataloged can be sent using gopher software . I
believe it offers everything any librarian or
classroom teacher any where could want.

I am a school library media specialist in Portland,
Oregon.  I am new to the "net" and just hooked up
my two schools in early October.  Last night I
was at home 'surfing' on Netscape and went to
Scholastic's WWW site.
There was a lot of great information especially for
classroom teachers.  I can hardly wait to go to
work tomorrow and show some of my teachers who are
really interested in using the internet.

I like the reference sources, especially Occupational
Outlook Handbook and CIA World Factbook.
There are others, too, which are great.

A great WWW site is Yahoo at

There you will find a cascade of menus involving
over 17,000 URL.  It is updated daily and is
wonderful resource.

Hi Evie Funk,  My best friend was Carmen Funk when I
was growing up in Singers Glen, Va (long, long ago).
Her mom Norma Funk was my mom away from home.
Love those Funks!!  Yes- Introduce your teachers to
the Gopher designed by and done by volunteer labor
of the librarians of the state of Maryland.

I like The Well out in California.  It is a gopher
server brought to us by those grand folks who
produced THE WHOLE EARTH CATALOG a few decades back.
Gopher.well.sf.ca.us is the gopher address.
It's fun.  Another fun gopher search is the topic
"jokes".  I am not responsible for the jokes you will
find!!

My philosophy about teachers learning the net is
make it fun and something of personal interest to
them.  And remember that Rome was not built in a day!
