The Top
1000 Web Sites For Educators (5th Edition)
This
extensive book reviews the top 1000
(actually over 1200), education sites for 2001. The resource is an
excellent "phone book" for good sites that teachers can recommend to
staff.
Being able to provide a paper based resource to teachers is critical as it
links the technology they know (the book), with the emerging technology of the
internet. If you or some of your staff are just embarking on their internet odyssey
then this 5th edition of this book will provide them with over 1200 reasons for
using the internet in their teaching practice.
The internet contains over 55 billion documents so finding worthwhile sites
that meet our 23 quality criteria takes time and
this is one thing that teachers are struggling to find. By using this resource
they can find current, relevant and interactive sites that encourage students to
think and process information into knowledge.
The book contains an introduction which includes some
advice on searching the internet, school
policies, wise use of the internet, software and hardware requirements as well as 11
sections dealing with all curriculum areas below.
