[LTER-education] Websites that house curriculum for teachers to discover?

Fri May 1 07:13:45 PDT 2020

Wow, Kara, that is an impressive resource table for KBS.   How was it laid out, tech wise?  We have lots of teacher created lesson plans at Harvard Forest but they are not searchable...  Users have to scroll down a long list to find the resource.

Mot of our resources are separated into those generated by staff at HF-mostly powerpoint presentations and those contributed by teachers which are also often in slide formats b/c  a few teachers present their current work at our Spring Workshop every year and we then post them on our website.

However, during the current pandemic, we have put together a special webpage featuring those resources we think would be most helpful/timely for teachers to access in order to teach/share remotely with students.  The link to that website is:
https://harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/lessons-and-resources-support-remote-teaching

The wider resources link for our Schoolyard program lesson plans,  and Schoolyard science presentations is : https://harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/teacher-resources

Hey!  I'm eager to hear what everyone has to say about this one!!

I have been asking my teachers where they go for lessons for the past couple years.  the answers I get most often are: google, pinterest and teachers pay teachers.  My current plan is to host the lessons on the KBS website but design 'pins' so they show up on pinterest...which means they will also show up on a google search.

I do have a searchable table that I send the link to teachers all the time but I don't think they return to it often.  http://www.kbs.msu.edu/education/k-12/classroom-resources/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.kbs.msu.edu_education_k-2D12_classroom-2Dresources_&d=DwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=koKNYb_DzoohoQ8VqGBhPnHBNvavCg9xkO2gMNRLoOs&m=OqJWJRS_KSYoCgh39WMB8roJErx3d83l9626LWaPAJE&s=e6uqC2wQhCq1CmX9UrGIe2ZntfloHT4kqy-o3wefGUc&e=> We have a wordpress website and the 'table press plugin'.

Hi Everyone,
I'm working with some graduate students on developing hands-on activities intended specifically for classroom use (not really formal curricula). There are so many things on line now, especially given current events, but are you aware of any particularly reputable, long-lived websites where people can upload curriculum-like content for teachers (and informal educators) to discover and use? Many of the sites I'm aware of seem to only house their own activities that they've developed in-house.

Thanks for any leads!
Alex
