1. Literature

For some reading and writing excercises your students will enjoy, send them
to the BOOK REVIEW FORUM.

Kids who like to read generally like to write. The Book Review forum allows
them to do both. The kids review the books here, then they share those
reviews with other students from around the world. If you do reading and
writing activities in your class, this could be the perfect site to combine
both activities and contribute to a valuable resource for children's
literature.


2. Arts

>From cave drawings to postmodern painting, your students can see it all
through the GATEWAY TO ART HISTORY.

If you're looking for a comprehensive overview of art, look no further than
this Web site. Maintained by maintained by Chris Witcombe, Professor of Art
History in theDepartment of Art History at Sweet Briar College in Virginia,
this resource is designed to be used in conjunction with Gardner's "Art
Through the Ages" text. You'll find it filled with valuable and instructive
links to art resources spread throughout the Internet.


3. Physical Education

Who says the Internet can't get physical? Not the folks at SPORTS MEDIA.

This award-winning Web site is loaded with lesson plans, activities and
other resources for physical education teachers, students and anyone else
interested in sports. Your students will like the feature that allows them
to find sports-minded keypals around the world.


4.Tools for teachers

Hone your online skills and connect with other educators doing the same
around the world by joining the TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE
(TAPPED IN).

Sure, you can fire up your classroom computer and jump right into
cyberspace alone. There are plenty of great educational things to find out
there, but finding them and using them once you've discovered them are the
real challenges you face. The Teacher Professional Development Institute, a
free service run out of SRI Institute in Menlo Park, Ca., will help you
make sense of the Internet by connecting you with other educators and
highly trained professionals who have been where you want to go. Learn new
skills, find new software packages, meet new colleagues. This service
offers all that and more.


5. Recess

Want to go swimming on Christmas? You can when you celebrate CHRISTMAS DOWN
UNDER.

Take your students on a fun trip to Australia and learn how kids there
celebrate Christmas. They will have fun listening to Aussie music, sending
Christmas e-cards and reading stories written by Australian students. Along
the way, they will learn about geography, weather (it's summer Down Under),
and all those cool animals that live there!
