REVIEW:
eThemes is a project created by the University of Missouri at Columbia in collaboration with MOREnet – Missouri’s state education network. All the sites offered as resources are aligned with the Missouri (Show Me) Standards. In addition, all sites are annotated and assigned an appropriate grade level. Only teachers who participated in the eMINTS program are able to make a resource request However, this site can be used by all educators to find resources related to any of the more than 500 themes listed. The site provides a search function that allows the database to be searched by keyword, grade level, or Missouri Standard. The Resource Index lists all available eThemes alphabetically and by grade level. The areas covered by these themes are quite varied – examples include Arctic Explorers, Copyright Laws, and Shoes, as well as the usual science, social studies, and holiday collections of resources. Another section of the site provides links to many search engines and invites readers to share their favorites. This site does an excellent job of providing online resources for a variety of subjects and its arrangement makes finding and using these resources easy for all educators.
