Freeology Freeology is maintained by a high school teacher in California. This site was created in 2000 in conjunction with my teaching credential program. One of my assignments was to create graphic organizers. After realizing the versatility of graphic organizers, I put the first 16 worksheets online at Freeology.com for others to download for free. Over the years, I have continued to add free teaching resources. There is no registration or annual fee to use this site, and all materials are offered under the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Creative Commons license.
Special Focus:
Power Teaching PowerTeaching works best in a heterogeneous classroom where students of all abilities are allowed to work together to construct meaning of the grade-level content being presented. This use of “kid language” often allows students to make connections to concepts that they already know without the barrier of formal math language. Because of the gradual release model, students who truly need remediation can be pulled during Team Mastery and instructed individually or in small groups as the teacher deems fit

- Awesome Stories is a gathering place of primary-source information. Its purpose - since the site was first launched in 1999 - is to help educators and individuals find original sources, located at national archives, libraries, universities, museums, historical societies and government-created web sites. Sources held in archives, which document so much important first-hand information, are often not searchable by popular search engines. One needs to search within those institutional sites directly, using specific search phrases not readily discernible to non-scholars. The experience can be frustrating, resulting in researchers leaving key sites without finding needed information. When you become a member of Awesome Stories ... You can see everything on the site (including an extensive image data base), explore all its features (including narrated stories), dig deeper (with lesson plans and text documents) and hear from us once a month (with a newsletter profiling current events and hot topics). Join the site today. It's all free!
