Here are some great resources for educational websites.

Librarians’ Internet Index is my favorite. It is indexed by subject and it is updated weekly. I often have better luck accessing websites through LII than I do through searching. And they are all high quality sites.

Blue Web’n is consistently recommend by librarians. New sites are constantly being vetted and they are organized in a very teacher friendly manner.

Marilaine Block’s Neat New Stuff on the Net is geared towards librarians and is not indexed, but it is current and can be of use to anyone in education.

4Teachers - 4Teachers.org works to help you integrate technology into your classroom by offering FREE online tools and resources. This site helps teachers locate and create ready-to-use Web lessons, quizzes, rubrics and classroom calendars. There are also tools for student use. Discover valuable professional development resources addressing issues such as equity, ELL, technology planning, and at-risk or special-needs students. (Thanks - Ellen Comiskey for showing me this!)

Kathy Schrock – the librarian everyone I know aspires to be – catalogs sites for discovery school.com.

Are you working on a class wide research project on a specific era, writer or subject? Ask your friendly librarian for site lists (a week in advance) and she can post it here for you!
