ABSTRACT This book identifies more than 650 Internet and World Wide Web sites across the K-12 curriculum that can benefit teachers who may not have time to carry out lengthy searches themselves. The Web sites in this book are organized alphabetically by the following K-12 subject areas: art, bilingual education, drama, ESL, foreign language, health eduCation and physical education, journalism, language arts, math, music, science, social studies, special education, and vocational and technical education. Within each subject area, the sites are organized into at least one of three categories: lesson plans, other resources, and museums and exhibits. The sites described may include a wide range of materials--lesson plans and pictures that can be printed out, online multimedia presentations for students; interactive games; weekly brain teasers; searchable activities; databases for teachers; contests; pen pal opportunities; forms; downloadable graphics; videos; and other resources that can enrich the K-12 curriculum. Appendix 1 describes Web sites for newsgroups, that allow teachers to read and post messages, as well as listservs through which teachers can subscribe to electronic newsletters. Appendix 2 lists Web sites for information on search tools and Appendix 3 provides some sample forms for evaluating recommended and new Web sites. (AEF)

The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) promotes appropriate uses of technology to support and improve learning, teaching, and administration. As part of that mission, ISTE's goal is to provide individuals and organizations with high-quality and timely information, materials, and services that support technology in education.

Our Books and Courseware Department works with educators to develop and produce classroom-tested materials and resources that support ISTE's mission. We look for content that emphasizes the use of technology where it can make a differencemaking the teacher's job easier; saving time; motivating students; helping students with various learning styles, abilities, or backgrounds; and creating learning environments that are new and unique or that would be impossible without technology.

We develop products for students, classroom teachers, lab teachers, technology coordinators, and teacher educators, as well as for parents, administrators, policy makers, and visionaries. All of us face the challenge of keeping up with new technologies and the research about their educational applications while we are learning about and implementing appropriate applications in our teaching/learning situations. Please help us in our efforts to help you by providing feedback about this book and other ISTE products and by giving us your suggestions for further development.

The Best Web Sites for Teachers Ix Introduction

Iffiroduction

The Internet and The World Wide Web: What Are They? Currently, the terms Internet and World Wide Web permeate every facet of our lives. Everywhere we travel we hear people talking about worldwide communication using the Internet. We see it in print in magazines and newspapers, and hear it discussed on television, on talk radio, and in educational circles.

The Internet is a huge, worldwide network of connected computer networks with no single master control-center or authority. The Internet was created for military research purposes in 1969 by the U.S. Department of Defense. The Defense Department's major concern was to ensure mass communication of information and at the same time provide maximum security. Although the Internet has been in existence a long time, until recently it has been very difficult for the general public to access it. Because of this difficulty, only scientists and academics used it. It wasn't until 1989 with the development of the World Wide Web that the general public became heavy users of the Internet.

The World Wide Web is an easy way to navigate the Internet. The Web incorporates text, graphics, and sounds in electronic documents called home pages or Web sites. Each home page or Web site has its own unique URL, or address. (URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator.) Certain items on the Web pages are underlined. These underlined items are called links. The World Wide Web gets its name from these links because they are like threads in a spider's web. By clicking with a mouse on the links, you can jump from one page on the Web to another, be it a page on the same computer or a page on the other side of the world. One document is linked to another, which is linked to another, and so on.

What's on the World Wide Web for Teachers? There are thousands of useful Web sites for teachers that take advantage of the Web's multimedia capabilities. You can visit a museum, take a lesson in a foreign language, play a math game, explore the human brain, read interactive stories, participate in online polls and discussion groups, listen to music, and download lesson plans.

Now Can I Find Things on the World Wide Web? The World Wide Web provides you with tools to search for resources. These search tools bear names such as Lycos, Infoseek, Alta Vista, Yahoo, and DejaNews. (See Appendix 2 for Web site information on various search tools.) You enter keywords to find lists of sites that may contain the information you are looking for. Another way to find information on the Web is to know the address (the URL) for a site. All Web URLs start with http://. As an example, to connect to the home page of the White House, you would type http://www.whitehouse.gov/

The Best Web Sites for Teachers I 12 Introduction

How Po I Access the World Wide Web? To access the Web, you need a connection to the Internet. You can get an Internet connection through a commercial online service. Three popular ones are America Online (800/827-6364), Prodigy (800/776-3449), and CompuServe (800/848-8990). Online services charge a monthly fee, and some also charge a per-hour rate for the time you spend online. If you plan to spend a great deal of time on the Internet, it may be more economical to get an Internet connection through an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Many ISPs charge a flat monthly fee for unlimited Internet access. There are several places you can fmd an ISP to fit your needs. If you already have access to the Internet through a commercial online service, you can check out a list of providers at http://thelist.com/

Another place to find information is in your local Yellow Pages or from a local computer user group.

What Kind of Compeer Hardware and Software Po I Need? To access the Web effectively, you need a computer running MS-DOS or Windows with at least a 386 processor and 8 MB (megabytes) of RAM, or a Macintosh computer running System 7.0 or higher with at least 8 MB of memory. You will also need a modem. If possible, use a modem with a transfer speed of 28.8 bps. A 14.4 bps modem will work, but it will operate at a much slower speed.

What Is the Purpose of This look? The authors have searched the Internet and World Wide Web and identified more than 650 sites across the K-12 curriculum that we feel will benefit busy teachers who may not have time to carry out lengthy searches themselves. We believe that this collection of sites will provide teachers with a good starting place for Internet exploration on their own. Be forewarned that Internet resources come and go. There is no guarantee that all of the sites included will be accessible when you try to open them. You might find that the problem is temporary or that the resource simply may have moved to a different address or disappeared. If your initial effort to visit a specific Web site fails, try again later. Because Web sites are frequently redesigned to take advantage of the latest developments, you may find that some of the graphical displays of Web pages in this book are different from what you see on your monitor.

How Is this Book Organized? The Web sites in this book are organized alphabetically by the followiing K-12 subject areas: art, bilingual education, drama, ESL, foreign language, health education and physical education, journalism, language arts, math, music, science, social studies, special education, and vocational and technical education. Within each subject area, the sites are organized into at least one of three categories: lesson plans, other resources, and museums and exhibits.

In addition, Appendix 1 describes Web sites for discussion groups, called newsgroups, that allow teachers to read and post messages. These groups are similar to electronic bulletin boards. Appendix 1 also describes mailing lists, or listservs, through which teachers can subscribe to electronic newletters. Appendix 2 lists Web sits for information on search tools. Appendix 3 provides some sample forms for evaluating recommended and new Web sites.

2 The lest Web Sites for Teachers 13 Introduction

The Web sites mentioned in this book are indexed both alphabetically by title and alphabetically by title within each subject-area category.

What's Included in the Sites? The sites described for each subject area may include a wide range of materiallesson plans and pictures that can be printed out, online multimedia presentations for students, interactive games, weekly brain teasers, searchable activities, databases for teachers, contests, pen pal opportunities, forms, downloadable graphics, videos, and many other resources that can enrich the K-12 curriculum. The descriptions of the sites usually indicate whether the sites are for teachers or students, as well as the grade levels for which the site material is intended.

What Were the Criteria for Selecting the Sites? Because anyone with access to the Web can rather easily establish a Web site, there are many so-called educational Web sites that contain very little useful information, even though they may be very visually appealing. Furthermore, many sites with good information contain graphics that take too long to download to your computer and therefore tax the attention span of both adults and students who are accustomed fast-paced forms of media. Many sites are poorly constructed with hard-to-read screens, inactive or missing links, and distracting graphics. In selecting sites to include in this book, we considered how appropriate, relevant, and useful the sites would be for teaching and enhancing the K-12 curriculum.

The two evaluation forms in Appendix 3 offer some criteria for evaluating educational Web sites. The first form, Educational Web Sites Recommended by Others, will help you evaluate sites described in this book for use in your own classroom. The second form, Educational Web Sites You Discover, will help you evaluate new sites you encounter in your Web travels.
