Each month Marjan Glavac, professional speaker, teacher and author of The Busy Educator's Guide To The World Wide Web 2ND EDITION (Foreword by Dr. Harry Wong author of The First Days Of School) presents The Busy Educator's Monthly Five -- five websites for educators that are easy to read, simple to use and worthwhile to know.

Lesson Planning Sites Part 4
Here are five websites to help Busy Educators with their lesson planning.

The Gateway to Educational Materials
http://www.thegateway.org

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Library of Education, The Gateway to Educational Materials contains over 10,000 education resources and materials found on various federal, state, university, non-profit, and commercial Internet sites. Browse through the curriculum database lists by subject, keyword or search by subject, keyword, title, or grade level.

Education World Lesson Planning Center
http://www.education-world.com/a_lesson/archives/

Browse over 100 original, well written lesson planning articles written by the staff at Education World. Sign up for newsletters to keep you informed of the latest lesson plans, new education categories, topics of interest and more.

The Daybook
http://www.daybook.org

A teacher created searchable database of online lesson plans. You can print out new lessons to use right away! Any teacher can easily submit by filling out the online form. The Daybook is currently featuring a selection of K-7 subjects.

Mountain Brook City Schools Technology Integration
http://www.mtnbrook.k12.al.us/tech/tech.htm

The Mountain Brook City Schools Integration Pages are an extensive collection of K-6 sites organized by subjects and grade levels. The pages were created by taking their existing curriculum and finding sites to enhance it.

Mr. K’s Links 2 Learning 4 Educators
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Column/9885/

I really enjoy seeing educational sites evaluated by letter grades. Teacher Mr. K does just that! This is a uniquely organized gateway site for educators. Links, arranged in nearly 70 very intuitive categories, are identified, briefly described, and subjectively rated for ease of use. Ease of navigating the site is a definite plus to preview the nearly 5,000 links available here.
