School Subjects

Updated 16 Oct 2006

Someday soon, nearly all school textbooks, worksheets, tests, and other materials will be on the Internet.  180 teachers for each grade and each subject, taking one year to do a lesson plan for only one day's worth of material, could upload within one year nearly all the lesson plans, curriculum, online tests and many documents, with hyperlinks to many references, and suggested resources for parents.   Students could take tests online, many of which could be corrected by computer and returned within seconds of submitting them.  Many scores will be automatically recorded.

Information by subject is located in School Talk at this location.  In addition, please refer to my homework links.  Many of the linked sites are organized by subject.

For now, this section of the website consists of a 22 page handout I wrote for my daughter's 7th Grade SciMaTec class.  It will give you the feel for what online school work can be like, with a couple of exceptions: 1) the Internet connection you are using may be quite slow compared to the connection speeds available in the schools, so the wait for pages to load may be frustrating; and 2) these pages do not have response fields built into them, which would be easy enough to do.
