I had asked for your help in adding to my list of school websites with curricular hotlinks--especially those that are annotated or have student activities. Below are the wonderful responses I received. The staff development course I am teaching this week can be overviewed at http://polk.ga.net/QCC/QCCWWW.html. It's been an exciting summer project to get prepared for this workshop. If you haven't tried creating web pages to organize your staff development instruction on line I encourage you to try it. Susan Check out our page referenced below. Good luck! Carolyn Pearl, Librarian, Westfield HS, 16713 Ella, Houston, TX 77090 mailto:carolynp@hiway.spring.isd.tenet.edu Bookmark our Library Web Page: http://www.spring.isd.tenet.edu/whs/lib/whspg1.htm --- The Social Studies Department of Montgomery County Public Schools has an excellent home page. Even links to fieldtrips. http://www.mcps.k12.md.us/schools When you get in, go into the curriculum areas and find social studies. Enjoy. Karla Walker, Reading Spec. Westover ES Silver Spring, MD 20904 --- I would include NASA's Spacelink http://spacelink.msfc.nasa.gov Not only can you follow the latest news from space, but the teachers candownload activities/computer programs and more - with NASA's blessings and permission! Barbara R. Herbert home: <bherb@juno.com> Georgian Court College work: <herbert@georgian.edu> Lakewood, NJ 08701-2697 NASA ERC: <NASA_ERC@georgian.edu> --- I specialize in straightforward resource pages for our students, linked from our main library page. See http://www.tiac.net/users/winlib and look under Resources for Student Projects, then Russia, China, Europe, AFrica, and Latin America.Ellen Berne Library Director, The Winsor School Pilgrim Road Boston MA 02215 (617)735-9510 Co-Manager, ISED-L Instructor, Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science eberne@tiac.net --- I have set up some theme-related links on our school's web page in the virtual library section. To get directly to that portion of the web page, go to: http://www.esu3.k12.ne.us/districts/millard/centmidd/vertlib/path.html # Virginia Minear vminear@esu3.esu3.k12.ne.us # # Library Media Specialist MILLARD CENTRAL MIDDLE SCHOOL Omaha,NE # # http://www.esu3.k12.ne.us/districts/millard/centmidd/central.html # --- I maintain two Internet catalogs, one organized by school subject:http://www.wcsu.k12.vt.us/~wardsboro/catalogs.htm#Subject and one by general topic headings: http://www.wcsu.k12.vt.us/~wardsboro/catalogs.htm#Mellow Hope these help. Dale Copps, dcopps@wcsu.k12.vt.us Librarian, Wardsboro & Winhall (VT) Elementary Schools http://www.wcsu.k12.vt.us/~winhall http://www.wcsu.k12.vt.us/~wardsboro --- I am the webmaster of our high school library's homepage (http://www.rcs.rang.k12.va.us/SCHOOLS/RCHS/Library/RCHSLIB.htm). Part of that page is a large section devoted to curriculum links (http://www.rcs.rang.k12.va.us/SCHOOLS/RCHS/Library/CURRICLM/CURRILINK.htm). I have organized that section based on our schools program of studies. Although I consider it all to be very much "under construction" you might get some help from it. Our server at school is currently not operational so I can't upload my most recent updates. It has been made without input from any teachers - it is just something that I work on hoping that it will be of help to them. I am still working on trying to get them to add to it, make suggestions for modification, etc. You might also get some leads from the page on Education Gateways (http://www.rcs.rang.k12.va.us/SCHOOLS/RCHS/Library/EDUCGATE/edgates.htm). This lists and annotates sites that relate to education in too general a way to have them listed in any particular subject area. In addition to this site I have also just begun a page of elementary links for my daughter who will be student teaching in Baltimore this fall. Her page is http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/2223/elemeduc.htm Since this page is on Geocities I can update it whenever I want and I will be doing so later today. There is one site there that I just happened to stumble onto that may be of particular interest to you. The Baltimore County Schools have a site that gives some curriculum links by grade level. The Elementary grades site is http://www.bcpl.lib.md.us/centers/education/LibraryWeb/elem/Elem_level.html Since my area is high school I have spent much more time in that area but now with my daughter's page I am looking for elem ideas also. I look forward to what you get from others. If I come across any others I'll let you know. Good luck with your course, Nancy --- My elementary page is not as thorough, but may give a little insight of one way to create a school page by curricular area. See my "Resources for Students" page (near the bottom). Marla Hall mailto:marla.j.hall@uwrf.edu Malone Elementary School, Prescott Wisconsin School homepage: http://www.pressenter.com/~malone/ --- Another place to look for ideas about your whole course would be Mustang: A Web Cruising Vehicle (http://mustang.coled.umn.edu/) It is part of Web 66. Kid Info (http://www.kidinfo.com/) is a site recently mentioned in a message from Ted Latham (of the Discovery Channel School Online's Spotlight on School Websites [http://school.discovery.com/schoolspotlight/index.html]) to wwwedu, a listserv I subscribe to. Kid Info is the site of the Village Elementary School in Canfield, OH. They list many links to use with their curriculum.
