It seems that everytime I search for a lesson plan on a certain topic, a LearnNC webpage comes up. I've learned to just go straight here to find new ideas because it is easy to navigate and offers a wealth of information.

Although this site doesn't help me so much with my content area (Spanish), it helped out a lot when I covered a few math classes a few years ago. There are lots of drill & practice worksheets and other lesson plans available on here.

Learn Spanish
If you want to learn to speak Spanish, you’ve come to the right place.
Getting Started
With so much free material for learning Spanish (over 1,000 pages!), many people want to know where to begin. Learn more.

I sent students here all the time to get more pratice on grammar concepts and vocabulary. It offers very good "drill and practice" type things, which some students need to be able to remember a particular aspect of grammar. It might not be very valuable for other subject areas, though! :)

Connect With Teachers!
Teachers connect, on Teachers.Net! With over 150 unique "channels" for teachers by grade level, curriculum, region, and dozens of special interest groups - no other Internet community connects so many teachers over so many topics!-
This site is another good resource for lesson plans. I frequently browse the forums and share lesson ideas with other teachers. It's also a good place to just vent, or to help out another frustrated teacher who is venting and needs some support.

An empowering place where teachers
buy & sell original and used teaching materials and make teaching an even more rewarding experience
...it's FREE!-
FIRST IN MY LIST OF BAD WEBSITES:
I can't imagine charging another teacher for lesson ideas or help teaching a difficult topic. We, as teachers, need to not guard our tools of the trade -- we need to share them. All of us want our students to learn, and I see this website as a horrible barrier to spreading learning across geographic barriers.

BAD SITE #2:
It's not that I have anything against learning about news in the world of education, my gripe with this site is that I don't have time to weed through all their articles to find the ones with real substance to them. There are plenty of other websites to use to keep a teacher up-to-date on things!!

I have nothing against National Board Certification (I am National Board certified), but I found throughout the process that this website is absolutely horrible. Oftentimes a link won't work, and sometimes certian links lead you in circles and you never actually get where you need to go. I also think they try to "toot their own horn" too much instead of offering valuable advice or guidance for propspective National Board candidates.

BAD WEBSITE #4:
I've accidentally come here several times looking for lesson plans, but I never seem to be able to get anything accomplished. The page itself is confusing to navigate, and I feel like everytime I search for something it leads me to a different website that has little or nothing to do with what I'm looking for. THUMBS DOWN!

BAD WEBSITE #5:
Another website where you have to pay for lesson plans. Again, I think it's absolutely ridiculous that anybody should have to pay to get quality lesson plans to use in their classrooms. I would like to see some of their lesson plans -- I wonder if they are any good at all!!
