In an information rich world, access and organization are everything. This Teachers.Net tip for June 16 helps teachers quickly navigate the resources and pages they most want to see.
Right-Hand Links – Your Personal Switchboard
Across the website, we’ve assembled a collection of links that are designed just for you. Links include access to your custom network, support resources for the page you are viewing, and helpful links based on your visits.
Your Network Links
The top red links on the right let you set your most useful interests – your grade level, your principal subject, and the teachers for your state. Once set, these links help Teachers.Net deliver pages that are customized for your unique interests. Your information is never published, so your privacy is never in danger. Your Network can be set by clicking on the “your network” link, or the word favorites at the top of the page.
Once your network links are set, the Chat Center link (the red link at the top left) will take you to a customized page based on your preferences. New content, announcements, scheduled events, job listings, articles, and more related to YOUR interests will appear on this page.
Try it out now by setting your preferences, and visiting the Chat Center yourself.
Related Lesson Plans
As you travel through different grade level boards, and those related to subjects, you will notice a set of links below Your Network which reads “Related Lesson Plans.” Like the title suggests, these links connect you to lesson plans on Teachers.Net related to the page you are currently viewing.
There are over 4000 free lesson plans on Teachers.Net, you can help support the online teacher community by uploading your own lesson plan, and becoming a star of Teachers.Net!
“See Also”
Just as there are lesson plans that are geared toward special pages, Teachers.Net features a huge assortment of chatboards in our Mentor Center, related to the page you are viewing. You can help support other teachers in your network by visiting the links that appear in your right side bar, and contributing to the lessons and chatboards frequently!
Recent Chatboards
To help you keep track of the chatboards you’ve viewed, we’ve added a list of up to five chatboards recently visited. Now you can quickly access the chatboards you use most, without having to type or search your history.
More To Come..!
A Teachers.Net, our entire website is a project in development - we're always making adjustments to improve its features and increase your options. If you'd like to send us feedback on our navigation, you can post to our Feedback Chatboard, or if you don't want it published, use our feedback contact form.
Thanks for your wonderful support over the years - you've helped make the Teachers.Net Chatboard Network one of the most effective tools in teacher networking ever to exist!
Until tomorrow....
