Every now and then, we get an unexpected surprise from someone as interested in supporting teachers and students as we are. This usually means someone has gone out of their way to research and produce a valuable list of incredible online resources for use in education, and done a great job of doing so.
I'm happy to say it's happened yet again. We recently received a list of STEM teaching resources (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) from Jasmine Dyoco at EducatorLabs.
If you're a teacher and you haven't yet checked out this fine organization, please do so. They are one of the many collaborative groups who are working tirelessly to produce caches of freebies and other information to help educators with their work. They offer lesson plans, a very diverse Resource Bank to explore, and so much more.
