Teachers’ Domain: Interactive Fun!

Teachers’ Domain offers a diverse collection of activities and media resources for your classroom. The netTrekker sites in Teachers’ Domain contain video, interactive media, images and .pdf files.  Resources accessed through netTrekker pertain to Social Studies and Science topics, but, once you log into Teachersí Domain you can search any topic and find rich resources that address all areas of the curriculum.

The Teachers’ Domain site encourages you to register, requiring you to complete a short and simple profile. The process asks:

• The type of school
• Where it is located
• A user name/password you would like to access Teachers Domain
• Your name
• Email
• A COPPA regulations confirmation that you are over 13 years of age
• A question of how did you hear about Teachers Domain?

If your school uses a universal user name for the students to access netTrekker d.i., consider registering it here as well!

To continue on with the theme of hearts that Amy introduced with the SMART resources, here is an example of an interactive resource found in netTrekker d.i. from Teachers’ Domain. My search word was heart. I refined my search to only show Teachers’ Domain resources and then selected the entry about

heart transplants. It pulls up an interactive program for your students to actually conduct a heart transplant. It includes the background information, questions, and the standards for this activity.

It is simple and truly a rich resource to enhance your classroom, all available in netTrekker! View this short video to see this classroom application in action.

   Nettrekker is really useful for new teachers who do not have a large venue of sites to view. This builds a good collection.
