WatchKnowLearn Now
WatchKnowLearn has indexed over 33,000+ educational videos, placing them into a directory of over 3,000 categories. The videos are available without any registration or fees to teachers in the classroom and to students at home 24/7. Users can dive into our innovative directory or search for videos by subject and age level. Video titles, descriptions, age level information, and ratings are all edited for usefulness. Our Web site invites broad participation in a new kind of wiki system, guided by teachers. We have had a tremendously positive response from educators to the website. If we continue to work together, we can create an incredible, free, educational resource for students across the world.
free online educational videos, lessons, games, and puzzles - but the videos are my favorite. Short videos to gain the interest of students!

A great listing to share with staff - following the alphabet!
by Dr. Richard D. Jones - good article in PDF that covers a broad spectrum of information relating to student engagement.
great PDF of a PowerPoint showIng ideas and strategies for classroom agendas.
Lesson Planning: An Introduction
A lesson plan is a teacher's detailed guide or map. It maps the course of instruction for one class, or maybe many if you teach more than one subject. It's the "recipe" for the day's exciting learning!
