CONTENT:
EduScapes offers a wealth of resources for teachers, parents, students,
and, according to the site itself, "life-long learners of all
ages." The site is designed to help connect Internet resources
with all curriculum areas and to provide resources for teachers trying
to integrate technology into their curriculum. |

REVIEW:
Begun in 1998, EduScapes was designed by a husband and wife team
of educators who wish to "share a love of learning with others."
The site comprises a number of sections, each addressing a different
curriculum area or need. The 42eXplore
section features weekly topics providing information and ideas for
lesson plans, learning activities, and vocabulary links. An archive
of past topics is available and organized by topic, subject, and
date. Teacher
Tap provides teachers with practical, online resources and ideas
for hands-on activities for professional development. Topics are
added monthly and remain available for use by teachers, library
media specialists, and technology coordinators as needed. A section
focusing on language arts and connecting books with online resources
is called Literature
Ladders. This section offers resources highlighting award winning
and favorite books, ideas for themes and literature circles, and
links to help you create your own "literature ladder."
In addition, an online journal (activate)
is available and is updated throughout the year. As in other sections,
a complete archive is available. This site includes many other resources
-- including ideas for using multimedia and incorporating it into
classroom activities, project areas, cool information about nature,
and more. This comprehensive technology resource has something for
everyone!
