This week, I explored Thinkfinity (www.thinkfinity.org) which is a Verizon sponsored website. It is a free online community for education professionals, providing access to over 60,000 educators and experts in curriculum enhancement. The site is an invaluable resource for teachers of all disciplines. There are discussion boards, blogs, and even an area where you can look up lesson plans that are categorized according to state standards (probably my favorite part so far).
The part of the website where you can look up lessons by state standard is called Thinkfinity Resources and it is located about halfway down the home page on the right side. There is a box underneath the heading and you can click on the tab that says "State Standards". Input your state, grade level and subject and all of the standards will pop up with links to lesson plans that can be used to teach the specific standards. This is a great tool for teachers, especially new teachers. I wonder if you can upload any cool lesson plans that you develop or find.
I am definitely bookmarking this site! It is going to really help me with the rest of the lesson plans that I have to develop this semester and after I am hired as a teacher.
