Kathy Schrock’s influence at the site on http://school.discoveryeducation.com/schrockguide/ has been well documented over the fourteen years by every teaching college imaginable. Well, at least the ones I have attended. I have searched for activities on the site before and have always found it to be very user friendly. A variety of activities are offered for every subject area, as well as links to lesson plans and tools for creating one’s own activities. A tab for contests and grants is even visible, offering incentives to schools and districts that wish to build, refine, or promote their science programs.
I can think of no valid criticism for this site at this time. All in all, Kathy Schrock’s Guide for Educators is an awesome and reliable web source for information, activities, lesson plans, and inspiration.

Thanks for the nice note. However, I just want to clear a few things up...my site is hosted by Discovery Education, and the URL is http://school.discoveryeducation.com/schrockguide/
ReplyDeleteThe clipart and Puzzle Maker and lessons that go along with the shows are not part of my site. I do link to many of them, but I only take care of my list of 3000 links, and there are plenty of links for high school teachers!
Thanks again for taking the time to look at my site!

Mrs. Schrock,
ReplyDeleteThank you for clearing up my erroneous statements. I will certainly revisit the site and see what all is available there for high school teachers.
I am surprised and flattered that you responded to my humble post. It was a class requirement and I never expected that anyone other than my professor would read it.
Thank you for reminding me to always fact check and that once something is posted on the web, it is "out there" for all to see.
