Help Me 2 Teach is a subscription-based
website that provides a searchable list of educational
websites. You can enter a search term and receive a list
of sites, with their descriptions and the target age
for their information (primary, elementary, secondary,
or teacher). Alternatively, you can search by entering
your own keyword, by state standards, or by using the
hyperlinked table of contents.
The topics covered on Help Me 2 Teach include holidays,
math, science, social studies, language arts, computers,
arts and crafts, and more. For example, I searched for "Egypt." The
results included a really fun interactive website from
the U.K. about hieroglyphics, artifacts, the temple at
Abu Simbel, and wall paintings. Another website in the
results list is a University of Chicago website about
daily life in Ancient Egypt, with photographs of actual
artifacts from the university's Oriental Institute Museum.
When I conducted experimental searches, the results yielded
websites of educational value for pre-K through high
school, with interactive capabilities not found in any
book.
This website is not filtered through a specifically Christian
perspective. For example, there are "spooky stories" in
the Halloween section and, of course, discussions about
the worship of ancient gods. You would not necessarily
want to turn your young student loose unsupervised, but
you would find many enriching sites to bookmark for your
child's use.
Study skills, virtual field trips, create a puzzle or
test . . . you will find many useful resources with this
tool, without wading through pages of useless search
results as you might have to with an ordinary search
engine. There are already over 2000 links on Help Me
2 Teach, and they are updated daily. If you would like
to add a colorful, interactive dimension to your studies
at home, this would be a useful tool for your family.
