Teacer Planet

Teacher Planet is a great website for any teacher in education. Teacher Planet provides and "features over 330 theme based resource pages." The resources pages are listed in alphabetical order, so if a teacher wants to do a lesson on Pyramids of Egypt, they would click on the E for Egypt and then link leads to different lesson plans about Egypt. Besides lesson plans, Teacher Planet has other tools that teachers can use in their classrooms; worksheets, clip arts, and games. But what I found interesting on the website was the section, Jokes 4 Teachers, the jokes are meant to "bring some light-hearted humor into our teaching lives." The jokes are kind of corny but I thought it was clever to use jokes as a teaching strategy. Overall, I thought that TeachersPlanet.com is great resource to use to help teachers in their classrooms.

I found the jokes rather funny. I think a sense of humor is important in the classroom and works to show students that teachers are human, too. It also makes teachers more approachable.
