The Teacher's Guide

The Teacher's Guide
This website was started as a project for a "Technology in the Classroom" college course. It was started to provide links to free resources for teachers. It has evolved and changed domain names several times in its 14 year history. The site is owned and maintained by a 2nd grade teacher. I continue to look for free resources to share, but have also started adding worksheets to the site that I made for use in my own classroom. My wife, a 1st grade teacher, is also adding worksheets that she made for her classroom. Hosting and registration fees to maintain the site are paid for by Google ads and products sold through Amazon.
