In a few days, summer vacation 2010 will be just a memory and my two sons will be on their way back to the classroom.
As my family prepares for the upcoming school year, I know that teachers throughout the country are doing the same, setting up their classrooms, developing lesson plans and working hard to find innovative ways to excite and engage their students.
With that in mind, Verizon Thinkfinity has launched a new back-to-school feature designed to help teachers quickly, and efficiency find a host of free, standards-based resources in one spot, http://www.thinkfinity.org/back-to-school.
From resources using football to teach geometry, to a podcast that highlights what a crew might experience during a 520-day trip to Mars, Verizon Thinkfinity has something for every teacher.
Also, to help teachers refresh on all the great resources available, Verizon Thinkfinity continues to offer free online webinars on a multitude of topics to help get the school year started on the right foot. A complete list can be found at http://www.thinkfinity.org/webinars
