Greetings!

Thanks so much for joining us in our mission to help teachers, parents and students use the Internet more effectively in finding educational resources. We'll be sharing tips and ideas and asking for your input in helping make our site grow and meet your individual needs in the classroom, home school setting, and as a parent. 

For many years, we have worked diligently to share the best resources that we have found for a variety of subject areas and grade levels.  We are constantly updating this information on our website, and we are now sharing this information in other ways.  We urge you to visit our blog and follow us on Twitter (internet4classr) to stay up to date with our offerings and our new sources/links for great educational and technology information for both you and your students and children.

We also answer direct questions via email about almost any subject matter.  One of the things that we have learned is that in this Web 2.0 world is that we have the ability to share our answers with anyone who has a similar issue.  We will be posting these questions on our blog in the coming months, and encourage you all to post comments and read other comments to learn from your colleagues.  Our user community is a great resource for information on almost any educational or technology topic.

I4C Website Update:  
New Design and More Resources!!

If you are a regular user of internet4classrooms.com, you've probably noticed some changes to our site.  This summer we've made some major progress continuing our migration to a new look and feel, as well as simplifying navigation and improving loading speeds for our pages. 

Design Changes for New Pages:
  • New navigational bars across the top and left of the site, to allow you to discover more of our content. 
  • Highlighted section headers, so that you know where you are on the site. 
  • Enhanced internal search capability
  • Links open into new browser tabs, to enable you to get back to our pages from the external link.
Major Sections with New Page Layout and Content: 
Our company is currently supported by advertising, but our new look and feel is designed to keep distractions away from the eyes of students working on skills to improve their learning. 
Internet4classrooms.com is a free educational portal for teachers, parents, homeschoolers and students. Visitors come from around the world to find Internet resources for their educational needs. One can find resources ranging from lesson plans to worksheets, individual grade level resources to templates, and even interactive learning games.  We were very honored when one teacher called the site a "Wal-Mart for Teachers".  If you cannot find what you need for instruction on any topic, please feel free to email us and we will help you find resources to fit your needs.

Sincerely,
