Your Homework

This is an interesting site where you can post homework and students and parents can log-in and check out what is due and when.



About Us

Purpose
yourhomework.com provides a simple solution to the age-old challenge of keeping students up-to-date and informed of homework, projects and tests. Students can remain in touch with their assignments whenever they miss a class or just want to stay ahead of the game. We've created a place that allows students to improve academic achievement, and parents to become more involved with their child's education.

yourhomework.com is designed to serve a broad range of teachers, from kindergarten to 12th grade, and provides easy navigation and open templates for teachers to post upcoming assignments. Teachers fill out a registration form on their first visit and then are given access to space to enter homework for one or multiple courses. Students and/or their parents view assignments in seconds from any web browser.

Get your students involved in building innovative websites.





ThinkQuest

ThinkQuest inspires students to think, connect, create, and share. Students work in teams to build innovative and educational websites to share with the world. Along the way, they learn research, writing, teamwork, and technology skills and compete for exciting prizes.

Sponsored by the Oracle Education Foundation, the competition offers a unique project-based learning experience to students and teachers across the globe. Everybody wins by having their completed websites published in the ThinkQuest Library, a rich online resource visited by millions monthly.

Busy Teacher's Website K-12

Every teacher should take time to browse this site...you will find resources for everything from Archeology to Zoology.....



K-12: Welcome

This Site is designed:

* to provide teachers with direct source materials, lesson plans / classroom activities with a minimum of site-to-site linking, and
* to provide an enjoyable and rewarding experience for the teacher who is learning to use the Internet.

Teachers may want to direct students toward certain sites as part of their lesson plan. The sites are not classified by grade level since many sites have several components (i.e., pictures, text, sounds, etc). Some components may be quite appropriate for elementary students (e.g., pictures, sounds), while text in the same site may be at a high school level. As part of the annotation for each site, you will find notation as to site components, i.e., text, pictures, audio, etc.
