Here are a few links to on-line books, teaching helps, and a reference to keep up with new technology.
Project Gutenberg is the first and the largest single collection of free electronic books, or eBooks. Michael Hart, founder of Project Gutenberg, invented eBooks in 1971 and continues to inspire the creation of eBooks and
related technologies today. All of their books can be downloaded for FREE because their copywrite has expired.
Books-On-Line is a directory of books posted on the Internet and available for you to download at no charge along with new books being published. There are almost 60,000 books listed and MOST of them are FREE!
Besides BOOKS, you can download thousands of Air Force publications, popular movie scripts, and (my favorite) a list of the ten most important books of the millennium. Sign up for the free newsletter. It will keep you informed about what is available for you to download. This is NOT a link you will want to publish for students. Like any public library, there are all kinds of books available. Many of them are not appropriate for Christian schools or young students. This source is for the teacher, only!
This page was created for the reference staff of the Memphis Public Library and Information Center. It is intended to serve as a tool to aid with communication and resource sharing, but it is also a great tool for teachers and students. You will want to add this link to your favorites.
Take note of the Categories section on the right and click on Children's Resources. You will find about 80 great links to sites students would find very helpful.
Lists of 20 Web Sites for Finding Books on the Web. If you don't find what you need on one of the above sites, you will probably find it here.
Bookemon offers you a way to make books and share them with the world. First you can make FREE books without buying any software or becoming a member of a club. You then publish your books online. If people want to buy your books, they can go to the site and order what they want. What a wonderful way to teach writing in your classroom!
Young students can get their poetry juices flowing with the Poetry Idea Engine. This activity that will allow them to write a haiku, free verse, limericks, etc. You can use it to teach types of poetry or let your students practice writing on the computer.
The Best Free Writing Software is NOT a link that will take you to a software program to help you teach writing or a game to make writing fun. It is an article about writing documents. Skip down to the sections titled, The Best Free Writing Software. Each of these applications has its own strengths and weaknesses. Although it is possible that you will find one that does absolutely everything you want it to do, you will likely have to accept a bit of compromise. You might want to try several applications for a few days each and see which one works the best. Sometimes two applications can have the exact same features, but one just feels better for some reason. You want to be comfortable when you are writing, so make sure you take the time to fully explore the software you will use.
