We can get together as educators and document all the useful resources on the web that will enhance our teaching experience. There's so many websites out there that are just waiting for us to find. Let's get started. Post you favorite websites here!

Steps

1. Post your original lesson plans on the Reading International Wiki. This will turn them into a collaborative writing project and put them in the public domain. http://riwiki.jot.com/WikiHome
2. Use a computer to record the audio of you giving a lesson. Save it as a mp3 and upload it to a web host. Students will be able to download the lesson and review the lesson again and again at home. Those students who were absent will be able to keep up by downloading the lesson and listening at home.

Tips

1. Do a general search using common search engines such as google, altavista, northernlights or a multi-search engine such as metacrawler or dogpile.
   
2. Narrow your search by clicking on the 'advance' search option.
   
3. Scan your results and choose the one you find most useful and interesting.
   
4. Enter forum and discuss your findings.
