The following links have broad appeal for educators and
those looking for resources in the areas like grants, standards, rubrics, lesson
banks, as well as unusual general sites for educators and cyber buildings
devoted to numerous educational topics.
If you try to reach a site that has been
hyperlinked and get
an error message or a "page not found message," try again later. If the
site still fails to appear after repeated tries, please contact me and
let me know via my e-mail link so that I can remove it from my
list. I know how terribly frustrating it is to click on a hyperlink and
get a "page not found" message. Also, if you find an interesting or
informative site related to my topic headings -- one not already
part of my lists, please let me know the address so I can add it.
Thanks!
Have fun browsing and
many blessings!
