English (especially Shakespeare) Resources

WebEnglishTeacher appears to be an excellent Site for English. See www.webenglishteacher.com/tempest.html for The Tempest links, and www.webenglishteacher.com/romeoandjuliet.html for Romeo & Juliet.

An 'interactive portfolio' version of R & J is at www.canadianshakespeares.ca/folio/folio.html, and includes relevant videos, a full lexicon, audio and images by page and scene.

Geoknows Geography

An excellent geography source designed specifically for secondary students is at http://homepage.mac.com/luxborealis/geoknow/.

School Zone resources

Schoolzone UK provides a link to nearly 50,000 websites reviewed by individual teachers. You can search by keyword, subject, keystage or a combination, and sites are star rated with their reviews. You must register before searching the site and browsing the resources, and I found I needed to use F11 to cancel the full screen browse and scroll down pages. It looks well worth the effort.

See www.schoolzone.co.uk/resources/webguide/search/index.asp after registering.

By Teachers for Teachers

The Association of Teachers' Websites (ATW) set up a what it calls a virtual school at www.byteachers.org.uk/school.htm, although judging by the number of broken links for some subjects it may not have been updated for some time.

You may have more luck with the member sites page for secondary resources on www.byteachers.org.uk/sites.htm#secondary. Nearly all subjects are covered, but you may have to search for changed addresses where the links fail to work.

Teacher Express is not just quick

Teacher Express includes a superb collection of links, organised by subject & keystage. But what makes it unique is that after registering (it's simple & free) you can remove categories you don't need, change the background colours and, best of all, include your own favourite sites under My Links. It has real potential as a site which everyone could use instead of a regular search engine when looking for resources, regardless of subject.
