Why are we doing this?

In the spring of 1996, the founders of Education World recognized the need for a Web site that would make the Internet easier for educators to use. They wanted to create a home for educators on the Internet, a place where teachers could gather and share ideas. They wanted to create a complete online resource where educators could start each day to find the lesson plans and research materials they were looking for.

The result is Education World, the Educator's Best Friend, a resource that includes

• a search engine for educational Web sites only, a place where educators can find information without searching the entire Internet;
• original content, including lesson plans, practical information for educators, information on how to integrate technology in the classroom, and articles written by education experts;
• site reviews;
• daily features and columns;
• teacher and principal profiles;
• Wire Side Chats with the important names in education;
• employment listings.

Education World is designed to be that resource for educators.

The Education World team works hard to produce this FREE resource for educators. In order to keep the site free for all visitors, Education World is funded by corporate sponsors and advertisers. We hope you find this site useful.
