What is Webguides for teachers?
Webguides for Teachers is a resource
web site especially for teachers. It offers a series of annotated
guides to the best resources for teaching at primary, secondary and
training college levels, as well as to sites for teaching and learning
about Internet skills and how to integrate technology into the curriculum. The TESL/TEFL page
is the biggest and most accessed, followed by the Young Learners page.
In response to demand, we have recently added a new section especially
for college and university students, teachers, researchers, trainers
and trainees: Study
Skills and Research. It's going to rival the TESL page
in size and perhaps use too.
Who is if for?
The online guides are a suitable web resource for teachers, teacher-trainers, trainee teachers, librarians, students and, in many cases, parents too.
How should I start?
Explore the pages under The Internet first to upgrade your web and teaching skills and get ideas for exploiting the Internet to the full. The Subject and Special Interest pages give a good start in particular fields. They are intended to spare busy teachers--as well as students/trainees--some of the frustration inherent in searching for useful sites amidst so many that prove useless.
Choosing the best
The sites which made our lists score well on the recommended checklists for Web Evaluation. Do have a look at some of the Web Evaluation sites and choose--or get your students to choose-- one or two of the checklists to use with the material you and they encounter.
Revision time!
The entire site has been reviewed and revised and links
are reglarly checked. . We're now planning
some additions, so keep checking. Thanks to all
the teachers and trainers who have made suggestions!
Where does Webguides come from?
Originally prepared to support courses at schools and colleges in Malaysia, Webguides
for Teachers has become an education resource for teachers
and learners anywhere English is taught. It is now run under the auspices
of Malaysia's international English Language Teaching Centre (ELTC). The
webmaster is Jean Floyd, just retired as Resource Consultant for ELTC. Jean has
50 years of experience as a teacher, ELT/ESP lecturer, administrator and librarian in
Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Jamaica, the UK and Malaysia, working with schools, colleges,
universities, library services, the Centre for British Teachers and the British
Council.
Making contact
Apologies if you are a teacher/trainer and tried to contact us by email. Spam

new arrangements for sending feedback. |
