Thank you so much for sharing your favorite web sites. I received many = responses and several duplicate websites. Enjoy. www.cnn.com www.google.com http://www.multcolib.org/homework/index.html It is the homework center = from Multomah County Library, and my 8 & 9th grade students use it = often. www.Refdesk.com It is also my startup page for internet. Everything I = need starts there and the links for reference can't be beat. It is = one-stop-shopping for searching and reference on oh-so-many subjects www.amazon.com great source for books in print I have a page on my own website that supports this theme of "website of = the day" which lives at http://www.shambles.net/siteoftheday/index.htm www.shambles.net .... but then I'd be being biased ;-) www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ social studies--all the facts you = ever would need on all countries of the world http://ipl.si.umich.edu/div/teen/aplus/ great website for step by step = directions for high school and college to writing a research paper http://www.artcyclopedia.com/ the fine art search engine--you can view = artists and their work, even which museums in the world have their art Take a look at my Teacher Resources page. It has several good web sites. = http://www.d47schools.org/hbm/html/teacher_resources.html Here's my all-time-favorite: http://www.teacheroz.com/ click on Table = of Contents to enter. It's the greatest site, tons and tons of other = links. We use it all the time here and not just for history. www.DiscoverySchool.com Great resources for teachers Not quite honest to say that it's my favorite, since I have lots of = "favorites", but here's one: = http://www.thinkquest.org/library/IC_index.html Favorite because: -you = can find sites on almost any topic -all of the topics are interesting to = students since they were chosen by students -it's amazing to see what = kids can do - and great for kids to see what other kids have done -all = of the sites have bibliographies so you know where the information came = from (as opposed to many adult-created Web sites!) My favorite part of = this favorite Web site is to go to the winners from each year. It is amazing to see the beautiful Web sites these kids have = created! (click on the red "here" in the first paragraph) http://school.discovery.com There's something here for = everyone--students, teachers, parents. Teachers will find such helpful = tools as puzzle makers, lesson planner, quiz makers, worksheet = generators and Kathy Schrock's site which is excellent. Here's my favorite website http://www.booksnbytes.com/ Books 'n' Bytes = -->Your home for Mystery, Science Fiction, and Fantasy Authors! Since it = deals with my 3 favorite genres of literature, it's sort of my home away = from home when I'm reading for my pleasure. It also is great in that it = lists titles in order of publication so it's easier to keep track or = series information. When I did a workshop for elementary teachers, I did this simple web = page http://home.nycap.rr.com/melic/TR.html The teachers really liked it and = they all explored the suggested web sites that way. I have recently discovered http://www.teachervision.com . This is a = really great site with tons of lesson ideas and MANY free printable. I = could ramble on about all it has to offer, for all grades, but you'd be = best served by checking it out yourself. If it's all the teachers, the sped folks especially may be interested in = www.ldonline.org - especially the "for teachers" section.=20 www.puzzlemaker.com You can create puzzles and worksheets here. www.middleweb.com I think by far the most beneficial website is = MiddleWeb: In addition to TONS of resources, I belong to two different = listservs, the "regular" one, and a special one that is devoted to = writing workshop. (Last year, that one was reading workshop). From = time to time we have special book chats, too. http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/bluewebn/ This is my favorite. What I = really like, is the fact that you can search the site in a number of = different ways and that you can sign up for a newsletter that gets = mailed once a week. The newsletter highlights some new sites that have been added. It's very good. Nancy O'Donnell Library Media Specialist Hoover Middle School 249 Thorncliff Rd.
