I switched careers later in life and became a Teacher. That was almost 10 years ago. I have been working on a resource that represents all the things I wish I had known when I started. Since every day yields new tings the resource continues to grow. Feel free to take a look.

Hi, all!
I've been using Bartleby's Social Science help to make things smoother in the classroom. The reception (from both students and teachers) has been very good. I'm wondering if there are similar .gov or .org sites for Intro to Linguistics. Suggestions welcome.
Please see: https://www.bartleby.com/subject/social-science

I have my California state teaching license and have been out of the classroom for two years now. I am planning on applying for teaching jobs and getting back into the classroom in 2020. I miss the students, constant learning, and energy. To show that I am dedicated and eager, I have started to develop a course and work on lesson plans for a 12th grade U.S. Government class that I could link to and use in my application process, and hopefully my teaching career should I be fortunate enough to teach Government. I have only completed the first unit, but I would be extremely grateful for any feedback. Once you click on each black lesson square, the slides and assignments highlighted in green are all downloadable. I hope that you have a wonderful, restful summer, and look forward to connecting with you soon!

Technology changed over all means of learning from the blackboard to Digital Class Board. It is the visual tool that synchronizes with the hardware devices, digital classroom software and content of the different subjects. To Enhance the projection of content, the teacher can interact with the content by use of Digital pen or touchpad. Digital interactive whiteboard is loaded with unique smart features which help in delivering the content in the most effective manner.
Digital class boards integrated with digital classroom software help to expand the nature of the content with the support of photos, illustrations, maps, graphs, games, and video. Digital boards make learning more dynamic by supporting different forms of content presentation.
Why Digital class boards are widely used?
• Increase participation: Digital whiteboard images can be saved and printed. So, students can concentrate on the topic without making notes.
• Stimulating creativity: students can write, draw or write on a digital whiteboard at the same time while class is going on. They receive feedback as well on the spot. So, students and teachers can check weak points over the topics.
• Structure the lectures: A teacher can schedule engaging learning tasks like match numbers and objects, picture and name match etc. in digital classroom software.
• Interact and share: One can interact with the activity on digital smart board to demonstrate the grasp of any subject by touching, drawing and writing. The teacher can identify the student's strengths and weaknesses.
• Access to internet resources: Teachers can easily connect with online resources such as documents and videos. Add supplements to the study materials through research online.
• Go Green: Smarts boards eliminate the process of writing, making notes on paper, or printing images and documents. Reduce the use of ink and paper and provide pollution free environment. Pen and interactive board do not harm a teacher's health as well.
