My partner is Emily Stuart. And we created a Google Custom Search with many Educational websites/tools for teachers. We chose our toolbox because it seemed most efficient and user friendly. We were unable to manually organize our websites. The Google Custom Search asked us to enter the websites and tag words, then it created the engine for us.
Tools for Teachers Search Engine
Here is our search engine website, these are our tag words:
art, science, lesson plans, history, wiki, foss, web, k12, biology, educational videos, video, math
http://www.fossweb.com/ <--This site is an excellent site for science curriculum. It is geared towards K-8 grades. FOSS is a researched based science curriculum. It is full of information for parents, teachers, & school districts. The FOSS curriculum can be sent to your class and also there are many activities right on the website. I would definitely use this website when teaching science lessons.
http://teachertube.com/ <-- This site is many educational videos that teachers and educators have uploaded for others to see and learn from. This is an excellent alternative to youtube.com. I could use this website with any subject. Showing a video for an anticipatory set is a great way to introduce a topic.
http://www.creativeteachingsite.com/ <-- This site was created by a teacher who has taught for 40 years. It has good solid information for teachers. It has teaching ideas, other links for teachers, computer wallpapers for teachers, a creative teaching page with great ideas for teaching, and a virtual teaching page. This site has won lots of awards for being a good educational site. I would use this page perhaps when I need some new ideas, and a little inspiration and flavor in my teaching.
