************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** From: "Linda DeVore" ?linda.devore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? To: ?LM_NET@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx??? Sent: Tue, 22 Apr 2003 16:48:14 -0700 Subject: GEN: New Resource I got notification of this site in an e-zine that I receive and thought that I had better share. I checked it out and it is fantastic! Almost all subject areas for all grade levels are covered quite extensively. Great site to share with your teachers. TEACHER RESOURCES TO MAKE YOUR BRAIN SPIN http://emints.more.net/ethemes/resources/index.html That's how one teacher described this resource developed by the Missouri Department of Education and university partners. "An awesome collection of over 400 teacher-created lists of links arranged by common themes taught in the classroom," says another. That's 400 *lists*, not 400 links. Seems like more! They're called eThemes and they're part of a state service called "eMINTS - enhancing Missouri's Instructional Networked Teaching Strategies." The good news is you don't have to be a MO taxpayer to enjoy the benefits of this amazing resource. Just click on the link above and shout "Show Me!"
