A to Z Teacher Stuff - Resources for Teachers

The website I reviewed, A to Z Teacher Stuff, featured lesson plans, thematic units, tips for teachers, materials for free and for purchase, and teacher forums. I thought the site could be a great resource for teachers that need some different ideas that they hadn't thought of. The tips for teachers had a lot of great ideas like how to get organized before the year starts, ways to do lunch count, ice breakers, and even tips for student teachers and cooperative teachers. Each idea has a link to another website that features that specific idea for lesson plans, units, etc. There was no author and no way to contact the person in charge of the site, which is a drawback, but all in all, had some good ideas.

By doing the website evaluation, I found there are a lot of things that can be overlooked when searching for a good website. Knowing where the information comes from is important if you want to know that it's a good website and paying attention the authors and publishers is something I had never really thought to do. This exercise reminded me that those things are necessary to remember when looking for a legitimate site and will help me to keep that in mind in the future when looking for resources or sites for students.
