TREASURE CHEST OF WEB RESOURCES (HIGH SCHOOL)
http://teachers.henrico.k12.va.us/Specialist/franceslively/
The purpose of the Treasure Chest for Web Resources is to provide secondary
English teachers of Henrico County with quality sites on the Internet to help them
in researching topics for teaching, find lesson plans for their teaching units, and
discover sites that are suitable for students. All websites linked to Treasure Chest
of Web Resources have been reviewed for content, design, and educational impact
in the classroom, and teachers are encouraged to contribute sites that they find to
be included.
The ultimate goal of the Treasure Chest of Web Resources is to become a library
for English teachers in Henrico County and all over the world and to help teachers
find the information they need faster because the most important part of teaching is
not computers and technology; it's information that technology can help provide.
