The United States Department of
Education website
includes sections devoted to students, parents, teachers and administrators. The
DOE also hosts F.R.E.E., Federal
Resources for Educational Excellence, with hundreds of federally supported education
resources
from more than 30 federal agencies.
EDSITEment, in partnership with
the National Endowment for the Humanities is
a gateway for teachers, students, and parents searching for high-quality
material on the Internet in the subject areas of literature and language
arts, foreign languages, art and culture, and history and social studies. All
sites linked to EDSITEment have been reviewed for content, design, and likely
impact in the classroom. The EDSITEment experience includes a user-friendly
website with links to
the top humanities sites and online
lesson plans which bring EDSITEment to life for teachers, students, and
their families.
