REVIEW:
Teaching.com provides teachers and students an online collaborative
environment for teaching and learning. Teachers can join the forums
to discuss such topics as tips for new teachers, career choices,
your best advice for the first year of teaching, and more. They
can also use the IECC (Intercultural Email Classroom Connections)
database to find worldwide collaborative classroom partners or the
Mighty Mentors Network to connect with a mentor or mentee through
email to improve teaching and learning. The Ednow.com section provides
a Web portal for teachers to find current education news, lesson
plans, curriculum resources and much more. Students will find access
to the KeyPals Club for finding worldwide pen pals, Youth In Action
where they can learn about important issues such as conflict resolution
and women’s rights, discuss the issues with other students
around the world, express their opinions on the issues, or take
action with surveys, petitions, and lobbying tools. |
