Jerry’s Web Pick of the Week - Edition Number 19

Each week at my school, I send out an email highlighting a website or two or three that my teachers may not be familiar with that I think they could use in their classrooms. Today I thought to myself, “why not post these to my blog?” So here goes…

Courtesy of Mrs. Kiddy, here is teachers’domain. The teachers’ domain provides multimedia content for the classroom. Although much of the content is science related, If you click on the Special Collections tab on the home page, you’ll find material for Social Studies, Language Arts, Careers, and many others. It’s a great resource to add to your collection. Thanks Mrs. Kiddy!
