Education World.com a World of Free Info

Originally designed to assist educators in accessing educational and professional information on the Internet, the Education World website calls itself the educators best friend. Over almost 20 years, it has become a source of free educational information useful not only to professional educators, but to parents, students, home schools and alternative school programs.

The site is enormous but not cumbersome. The primary sections of the site are Lesson Planning, Professional Development, Administrators, Tech Integration, School Issues, Marketplace. It has its own site search and options to search by date or subject.

For parents looking for quality activities for their children or for homeschooling parents the Lesson Planning section of the site is a wonderful free resource for educational activities. You will find there a series of lessons and activities on hundreds of specific topics, broken down by subject areas (social studies, math, science, etc.) and grade level. Though designed for classroom use these lesson plans can be easily translated to individual use. At the very least they provide the parent or educator with inspiration to design their own activities. The site provides links to other sources of information as well. http://www.educationworld.com/a_lesson/

The School Issues section of the site houses a large library of articles on behavior concerns that can be very helpful to parents who are homeschooling or those who want to keep informed on issues such as bullying in schools. http://www.educationworld.com/a_issues/
