If you are big on using lesson plans and worksheets, you may be interested in today's product review.
Lesson Planet boasts a whopping 150,000 online teacher reviewed lesson plans and 75,000 worksheets. Users have the option of searching through lesson plans, worksheets and State Standards of Learning.
Major subject headings are:
- Art and Music
- Health and Nutrition
- Geography
- Research Resources (Encyclopedias and Libraries)
- Social Studies
- Education
- Language Arts
- Math
- Science and Technology
There are several things about this particular product that I really didn't care for. First of all, the lesson plans were more a list of objectives than an actual plan for a lesson. The State Standards are a good idea, however almost 100% of the standards listed are 6-12 years old, so I doubt that they are still the standard. I encountered numerous broken/dead links as well.
This product was not a good fit for our family, but like I said, for the Lesson Plan/Worksheet kind of person, this may be a really good resource. Luckily, Lesson Planet offers a 10 day free trial membership for parents and teachers. After your 10 day trial is up, membership is $39.95 annually.
