Education Site Awards
This weekly annotated list of the best education web sites began in May 1996; past site reviews are grouped by subject. It is one of 10 free email distribution lists available from Education World.

Generally impressive sites:

AskERIC
Arguably the most complete lesson plan source on the Internet, it was discontinued at the end of 2003, but is still being maintained as the Educator's Reference Desk.
ASCD
Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development is the major professional organization in this area.
Great Web Sites for Kids
American Library Association is responsible for this carefully selected collection of web sites. The selection criteria are particularly nice.
California Learning Resource Network
CLRN replaces SCORE and the California Instructional Technology Clearinghouse as "your one-stop location for California standards-aligned supplemental electronic learning resource information."
The Gateway to Educational Materials - GEM
This one-stop educational resource is a collaborative project sponsored by the National Library of Education and the U.S. Department of Education. It really is a GEM.
Homework Center
Multnomah County Library provides this page. Sites are grouped by subject; "Social Issues" is particularly useful.
The Learning Page... Especially for Teachers
Primary source material galore and how to use it in the classroom, including copyright information all from the Library of Congress American Memory.
Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators
Kathy says this "categorized list of sites is useful for enhancing curriculum and professional growth. It is updated often to include the best sites for teaching and learning."
Teachers Helping Teachers
Lesson plans in all subject areas and a forum for teachers to get answers to questions and problems.
Thinkfinity
“This free, comprehensive digital learning platform is built upon the merger of two acclaimed programs Verizon MarcoPolo and the Thinkfinity Literacy Network.” Content, including more than 55,000 standards-based lesson plans, comes from 9 content provider partners.
