DISABLED WORLD WEB SITE (ALL)
http://www.disabled-world.com
From persons who are newly disabled to those born with a disability, Disabled World features over 400 categories containing in excess of 30,000 pages of Informative Articles, News Stories, and a free Disability Community, providing seniors, baby boomers and the health impaired with a wealth of disability resources, information, help, and assistance.
CLASSROOMTECH (TEACHERS)
http://www.classroomtech.org
This site provides effective technology resources for teachers. Includes ways of integrating technology in the curriculum, web searching skills, evaluating websites, productivity tips and digital photography.
BOOKHOOKS (GR. K-12)
http://www.bookhooks.com/
Bookhooks is an online book report publishing centre where young readers can
publish illustrated book reports online. The site has many other features,
including games, resources, style guide and word template, news and reviews.
It is a great website for busy educators!
http://mrkash.com/
Mr. Kash’s History Page includes links to General History, US History, World
History and Ancient History. Each month has descriptions of the celebrations,
holidays, and events associated for that month. There are also assignments
geared for middle school students. This is a recommended Busy Educator resource.
SPRING CREEK YOUTH SERVICES CENTER JUVENILE DETENTION
WEBSITE (GR. 7-12 TEACHERS)
http://www.cssd11.k12.co.us/springcreek/
The purpose of the “Spring Creek Website” is to provide at-risk students with
computer and social skills needed to help them integrate back into society. It
also provides the tools necessary for students to become economically
self-sufficient. This is accomplished by having students develop a website
that will give adolescents on the “outside” a look at what life is like in detention.
Finally, it is intended to be a resource and learning tool for both adolescents and
adults in and out of the professional world of juvenile justice.
This site also allows the public to enter a detention center via cyber space. The
website gives the public a dramatic and unique view of the daily routine of
detention life via student autobiographies, essays, art, poetry, curriculum,
community involvement, foster grandparent participation, staff interaction,
and digital photography.
If you find yourself completely exhausted from constantly disciplining students and are ready to say “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” then I know you’ll appreciate my ebook, How to Make a Difference.
