Adbusters
Culture Jammers Headquarters
Vancouver based anti-consumerist magazine Adbusters. Famous for their
spoof ads. http://adbusters.org/
When you are in a Post Modern mood, or you have given your students the
assignment to get some ads and deconstruct them for the sexist and blind
consumerist messages dripping off the magazine pages, this is the site
for you. The "subvertisements" are awesome. Provides links that
will even get you to the "How to" page to trade voice boxes
with Barbie and GI Joe.
Dogpile.com
I like Google, but then again, Dogpile is like an old research buddy.
Works best using Boolean logic type search phrases (all lower case,
+ signs, encased in quotation marks I.E. "african +american +quotations"
[note the space BEFORE the + sign, but that there is NOT one after
the + sign, which is where the logic falls apart for me])

Eduscapes.com
A site for lifelong learners. I know, you have seen a million educator
sites by now, but this one is really well maintained with top drawer
links. http://eduscapes.com/ |
PBS
Teacher Resource I know everyone knows about this one,
but I love it because not only are the historical documentaries amazing,
but you can buy the videos or books or encourage you friendly
librarian
to purchase them to use in your classroom. http://pbs.org/teachersource/

ArtsEdNet I really
use this site. The link to Jacob Lawrence and the Migration Series,
as well as the Harriet TUbman series, well, just everything Jacob
Lawrence has ever done is thorough and full of lesson plan ideas.
Has lesson plans for tons of contemporary artists, which I like
a great deal because the issues that these artists have struggled
with mirror many of the issues students deal with. http://getty.edu/artsednet/

magazine, even greater website for taking kids to the computer lab
to work on tolerance issues in an interactive way. Looks, good,
too.http://tolerance.org/teach/

and I am looking forward to using this resource that was shared with
me at WIT http://youngchicagoauthors.org/ |
