I love websites for teachers, but sometimes they are a little overwhelming with information. At other times, these websites don't provide you with actual lesson plans or a written curriculum. The PBS Teachers website has tons and tons of videos on pretty much any subject area and grade level. On top of that, they have whole lesson plans and curriculum units on different topics that can be downloaded for free! I love the website because of these resources, but also because it is easy to navigate. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing website, but I don't really care. I created an account (which you kind of have to if you intend on looking through resources) and browsed the videos. I actually found several that I thought seemed cool and I marked them as favorite so that I can go back to them when I have time!
The other teacher's website in our syllabus this week is the ArtsEdge website. This site has tons of lessons (all on different art genres) and some videos. What I found cool about this website is that it has many other resources. There is a section on how to's where you can search through tip-sheets, articles, and series of things. The site is also not just intended for educators; there are whole sections for families and students. There's a collections tab with many resources on different topics, different places, and big ideas. The collections include articles, videos, audio, websites, artwork, people, etc. I have to say this site is also a little bit more pleasing to look at, but because it has way more information, it takes more time to navigate. Overall, I enjoyed looking through both sites and I'm definitely going to use these resources!
