Web Site Lists

Website Lists From the AVA Center

How We Evaluate Websites:
        Excellent -     An excellent site with good information, graphics, links, and educational value.
        Very Good -   Almost as good as Excellent but not quite, maybe some of the links are missing or there aren't
                            enough of them. Maybe there are fewer graphics or it's just a smaller site. Maybe there is just
                            less information.
        Good -          Still has good value as information or a research site for students or teachers. Does not contain
                            lesson plans or those that are there are brief. Frequently a site with a single type of information.

Important: Don't assume that the only valuable sites are rated Excellent. A Good site may be just what you need.

Website lists are designed to be used by teachers and students in grades K-12. Where possible, we note appropriate grade levels.

A Note About Webquests - What they are - How they work - How to create one

Notice: The New York Times recently changed their lesson plans archive to a learning blog. We have several hundred NY Times lesson plans on the lists and none of the links will work.
Please search the NY Times learning blog itself until we can update all the links.

Please be patient. These pages are long and some are slow to load, depending on your connection. They're worth the wait!
