This section of TeacherLINK contains educational treasures for teachers. The following lists of resources are checked yearly to make sure they're still current and valid. So you'll want to have a look through the older materials too! If you have some great educational treasures you'd like to share with teachers, home school parents, or other educational endeavors, please feel free to share them with me, and I'll post them. In order to qualify as an educational treasure, it must meet the following criteria:
I've organized the list below by date, from most recent additions to earlier additions. You can use your web browser's find function to locate specific keywords on this page. All links are to PDF files - that way you can print them if you desire. Many of them I've also posted as newsletter editor of the Utah Coalition for Educational Technology. I hope you find many of them useful in your teaching endeavors.
