Inspiring Students
 As a classroom teacher, I've used the Internet with my students since 1993. Despite the many changes that have occurred since then, I still find it extremely frustrating to quickly find useful and practical educational sites. It's even more difficult to find an easy-to-use, practical resource guide that doesn't cost an arm and a leg or include pages on the history of the Internet. I wrote
The Busy Educator's Guide To The World Wide Web to address the needs of K-12 classroom teachers and to help them avoid frustration while looking for online educational resources about classroom management and discipline, lesson planning and work sheets, grants, testing, and subject-specific topics.
As editor of The Busy Educator's Newsletter, I'm always searching for outstanding sites and bookmarking them for future use. The newsletter also gives the Busy Educator's Award to Web sites that contain excellent educational content. There are some real gems among the hundreds of sites that have won the award so far. In addition, some of the wonderful educators who subscribe to "The Busy Educator's Newsletter" suggested great sites for me to include.
The book, which has become a best-seller, is being used by schools at the elementary and high school level, in college and university Internet courses, and in teacher pre-service courses.
My "Busy Educator's Newsletter" not only keeps the book updated by providing new sites but also includes lesson tips and news on Internet projects and awards for K-12 teachers worldwide.
More information about who uses the book and newsletter can be found at The Busy Educator's Guide To The World Wide Web. The Busy Educator's Guide To The World Wide Web, 2nd edition, by Marjan Glavac, can be ordered from The Busy Educator's Guide To The World Wide Web or directly from the publisher.
