Professional Online Community
Having an online community to share teaching ideas with is valuable. One can find lessons plans, teaching strategies, and discussions which relate to the discipline he/she teaches. Even though the value of interacting with people face to face cannot be discounted, having the resource of other teachers across the Nation, or even the world, to interact with is really something.
I recently joined scholastic.com and have found a wealth of resources available to teachers in all disciplines. I can narrow the search for resources to secondary education with emphasis in social studies. Then lessons plans and teaching strategies are offered free of charge. For instance, if I want to do a lesson on the main ideas within a reading, I can search that on this website and it offers a lesson plan on this topic.
Upon joining the website I receive a weekly news article in my email. This will keep me up to date on news concerning the field of teaching and what new things might be offered at scholastic.com.
This tool would be great for anyone who is looking for guidance or diversity in their teaching.
