Yahoo for Teachers
Aug 26th, 2007
I have file cabinets and binders stuffed with lesson plans from my teaching days. But, no matter how much material I collected, I was always on the look out for another quality lesson plan. That's why I think Yahoo's new lesson plan exchange is a smart idea, and one that will be particularly helpful for online teachers.
A recent Ars Technia article reports about the developing Yahoo Teachers project:
"A combination of bookmarklet, archive, and collaboration space for educators, Yahoo Teachers was originally meant to be a research tool for trip planning. The designers soon realized, however, that there was another audience that was hungry for these tools. Their presentation at the recently concluded UX Week on the web application, while still revealing a few rough edges, was an intriguing look at high-tech solutions for the most unglamorous side of teaching: the lesson plan."
