12 Creating Lesson Plans, and Getting Ideas Online

Between my Foundations of Education class, and Learning Through Technology class, I have had to write many lesson plans this semester. The Internet has been an excellent resource for me. It's a great place to find creative ideas for lesson plans. Plus, most have been tried out and are rated by other teachers, so you know they work well. You can also find tons of information, pictures and videos to use in a lesson plan you create yourself. Last week in class we looked at United Streaming which is a great resource for teachers. We also used another website, powermediaplus.com which had videos, pictures, and pod casts. The great part about this website was that it could be used to organize and create a lesson plan, and media could be directly attached to it. I made up a lesson plan about the underground Railroad. This ties into my project on websites very well. It shows that not only parent, and students should be able to use websites, but they can be very helpful for teachers as well. They are an excellent way to stay neat and organized, and an excellent resource.
