Kids Learn
My
Favorites
Schwab Learning -
This site is all about helping parents understand and aide their
child with learning differences. The audio voice is a really nice
option.
Dyslexia Teacher -
I was asked by a parent if her student possibly showed signs of dyslexia.
How could I tell? How does this impact the child's work? Those questions
and more at this helpful site.
T.A.G. Teachers -
This site chooses to devote its time to giving teachers resources,
jobs, news, and online polling information.
Puzzles

great resource promoting challenging puzzles.
Discover - This is the classic
magazine full of complex scientific information. I read this all
the time just to keep up on current discoveries and my own general
interest.
American
Maps - Ever notice the difference between French and English
maps of the "new world"? The French listed all the native
tribes, while the English showed open land. Interesting!
Film Values - This site was created for parental use, however,
after a recent folley in prescreening a movie, I am quick to check
with this site's database of movies! While this will help, watching
the movie yourself is always the best bet.
I Love Teaching - This

is inspiring words, helpful practices, and advice for teachers or
student teachers.
