Online Community

TeAchnology is an awesome website and resource for all teachers. Among the variety of educational resources, they have an open forum under the teacher message board where anyone is welcome to add a question or comment about an ongoing discussion, whether you are a member of the website or not. There are interesting discussions every day on the message board. Usually if your question is sort of open-ended, you can expect to get multiple responses which are helpful. They break it up into groups: k-2, 3-5, middle, and high school. It’s a great way to narrow the focus and keep yourself within the right age group and level.

Aside from the message board, there are tones of useful information a teacher could take from TeAchnology. There are lesson plans, tips for and helpful hints for just about any sort of teaching situation, a cool rubric generator, articles, a variety of worksheets that are content specific, great themes for all subjects, and lots of links to other great resources as well as plenty of other great resources for teachers. They even have a huge list of links to all sorts of different math websites if you want to look beyond Teachnology. I guess that’s why the website is called the online resource for teachers.
