Greetings!
Thanks so much for using Internet 4 Classrooms with your students and children to find the best educational resources. Our newsletter focuses on 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.

More Winter Holidays / Observances!
Now that we are back to school from Winter Break, don't forget these upcoming holidays. Including the message of cultural diversity from these holidays into your lesson plans with fun and creative projects is a key way to help your students understand the world around them.
Don't forget to check out the Holiday/Seasonal section on Internet 4 Classrooms. We have resources for:
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day - Celebrated on the 3rd Monday of January. This year it is on January 18th. Find activities, resource sites and the video of his "I Have a Dream" speech.
- Chinese New Year - 2010 is the Year of the Tiger. Learn more about China's rich history and ways to celebrate it in your classroom through art projects and more!
- Black History Month - Started in 1926 as a weekly holiday, February is now a month in the U.S. and Canada where we honor and learn about the contributions of people such as Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. Dubois. Learn more about the rich African-American heritage, including history, art and music.
