Educational Software Cooperative The Educational Software Cooperative (ESC) is a non profit organization bringing together developers, distributors, and users of educational software. It also provides useful information and links for anyone interested in the education of their children.

The Why Files give you the science behind the news. Funded by the US National Science Foundation.

The School Page has lots of online resources and links useful for teachers and parents.

The Science Spot is the place for science teachers looking for really great ideas to use in the classroom. Inspirational!

Teaching Tips is the place for some really good ideas to inspire and support teachers.

I took a look at Mrs Kolls Grade 1 homepage and thought, why don't I do something like that? Use the web to help students and to link with parents. Nice!

Internet Lesson Plans
The internet is a great resource, but how can teachers use it effectively? Browse the web for hours/days/weeks for those great sites? Why do we always want to reinvent the wheel? Someone, somewhere has been there and done it.

Well, this is a good place to start - 100's of ready made lesson plans, organised by subject and age group with built in activities and weblinks.

So visit the Link 2 Learn activities page, part of the Pennsylvania Education Network (A State funded program).
