I'm not sure if this site has already been used but it is a great
resource! The Smithsonian education site has tabs for educators, families, and
students. For educators, you can select from art and design, science and
technology, history and culture, or language arts. It allows for a deeper
search into resource and state standards. Teachers can choose the state they
teach in, and then find resources that match the state standard they are
currently teaching for. There are ideas for field trips, professional
development, lesson plans, resource library, and online events. Anything a
teacher would need to prepare a lesson or unit is found on this site. I really
like the organization of the site for all age levels. Students can choose from
tabs such as at the Smithsonian, explore by topic, idea labs, or secrets about
the Smithsonian. There are games and activities and about anything a student or
teacher would need, this site offers. Since the Smithsonian museum is so far
away from schools down here in the south, this would be a great resource to use
so that students could take a virtual tour and see all the interesting
artifacts that the museum has to offer. My favorite part is for the idea lab
for students. Students can experiment and explore from a variety of different
topics in this section. This site is great for students of all ages as well as
parents. It is easy to access and does not have distracting ads or flashing
lights. It is a great resource that offers many tools for teachers, students,
and their families. It would be a great website to ask students to look over
while at home or create ideas for possible projects or presentations.
