Also APA and MLA reference guides. Todd Tomlinson
One of my favorite sites is http://www.21ct.org. This is a site for and by teachers that integrate technology in the classroom. They have newsletters and resources. You can get lesson plans off the site or add your own.
Colleen Reed
One of my personal favorite sites for teachers is at Teachers.Net. They have lesson plans, a fantastic chatboard, web tools, live chats, a webring, and grade level mailrings.

My favorite site has the following goals:
One of my favorite web sites for teachers is the Community
Learning Network. This site has numerous lesson plans for K-12
teachers in over 20 different subject areas. There are also many
resources such as theme pages, links to other educational web
sites and ideas on how to integrate the Internet into your
classroom.

Michelle Bowdle
http://www.thelearningedge.com
This site has everything from lesson plans to journals to internet
projects to info for tech teachers and media specialists. It is
just packed full of links on these subjects.

http://www.frankschaffer.com/fearon.html. This site has lots of suggestions for teaching grades k-8 and a variety of teacher aids, learning activities, and resources. It has monthly calendar activities, clock activities, activity pages can be printed out for special occasions, and songs for all grade levels of every event you can imagine. Resources are very affordable. Debbie Clark
This is a bulletin-board site for teachers to submit lesson
plans and ideas.

My favorite site is the Internet Mathematics Library. The
address is http://forum.swarthmore.edu/library
This site offers discussion of math and math education topics at
all levels, lesson plans and activities, problems and puzzles,
net-based resources, publication and software links, and more.

KidsClick!
http://sunsite.Berkeley.edu/KidsClick!
Developed by librarians, KidsClick! is a combination search engine
and Web guide for kids. It points kids to kid-friendly sites
without the commercial distractions of Yahooligans. The
information is wide-ranging and appropriate for elementary and
middle school students. Some schools use this as the home site for
their Web browsers.

Children's Literature Review
http://www.carolhurst.com
Childrens books are reviewed and group discussion ideas are
recommended. Classroom activity ideas are provided. Related books
are suggested and links make purchasing available.
Lynn Bengtson
Without a doubt my favorite site is at http://www.awesomelibrary.org/
This is the Awesome Library. The Awesome Library organizes your
exploration of the World Wide Web. It contains 14,000 carefully
reviewed resources, including the top 5 percent in education. It
customizes your experience based on who you are: teacher, kid,
parent, teen, librarian, or community member. There are lesson
plans, games, sites, or just about anything you can think of for
K12 education. Check it out! It really is AWESOME!!!
Tim Kennard
One of my personal favorites is http://www.randomhouse.com/teachersbdd/
As a reading teacher I am always looking for new novels to tempt
my kids to read. This site does blurbs for some of the new books
in children's literature. It also offers author info and lists of
educational booksellers.
Amy Dickens
A really great site I just found tonight that I like as well as
any of my favorites, is http://www.kidinfo.com.
The site was created by a veteran teacher who has a lot of
background in the classroom and the web. It has 4 sections - a
student index which includes homework help, reference resources,
search engines, and fun, a teacher index which includes lesson
plans, a parent index, and a young children's section.
Angie Maier
I know that no one else will choose this one. The site
is http://www.joefarmer.com.
This address takes you to an agricultural search engine. I use
this site a lot with my agriculture education students. It helps
them to find topics without searching through a bunch of junk.
This site has links to thousands of other ag. related sites. This
would be a good area for non-ag teachers to use if they want some
good lessons on agriculture and farming. The possibilities are
almost endless.

Bill Nye the science guy is my way cool pick for kids
and teachers. There is no equal for science fun for kids and
teachers. The sites includes: a schedule of upcoming shows, as
well as an archive. Another nice feature is teacher lessons to
associate with each of the shows. - Beth Krebs
Seussville is a great site. We used it with our students to
lead into write to read week. It covers topics related to Dr.
Seuss and his stories.

Dustin Proehl
One of my most favorite sites is http://www.pbs.org
It's the site for PBS, of course, and it is good for all ages! It
has recent specials they have had on there, and it has great sites
for the shows my kids watch, and how to enhance the education of
the programming.
Linda Elliott
This is a good site to go to for any subject area. My kids go
there every morning to find what happened on this day in history
for their morning video news show. You can find out what happened
in almost any field. Some of the favorites my students pick out
are sports events, inventions, birthdays, or what topped the hits
chart in music on that day. It also links to other historical
sites.
http://www.historychannel.com
Sue Stoddart
My favorite web site for kids is http://www.kidscom.com
because it has so many interactive things to do. It offers games
to play, chat lines, educational activities, and graffiti writing
around the world.
Kim DePugh
My favorite site deals with the library, of course. It is
called Library in the Sky. There are many different areas you can
go to from this one site. This site is not just for librarians,
though.

Carol Cornish
http://sunsite.utk.edu/civil-war/warweb.html
This site is an extremely comprehensive site all about the Civil
War. It has resources that can be used by teachers in all content
areas that want to discuss the Civil War.

One of my favorite sites is the Artist of the Month:

it!
