“teacher’s best friend.” the website covers a little bit of everything there are some really good topics and there are some duds but to find the good ones you have sift through all the other stuff. The website has links to other websites that could be helpful.

NavigationThe navigation is meandering. Have to look around and explore
the website when you click on something you don’t know exactly what you’re going to get.
I clicked on a link and was presented with a hodgepodge of articles.
Frequently you’re more than three clicks away, sometimes more like 6-8
