English 4 All


English For All is part of the Cyberstep project funded by the United States Department of Education "to meet the challenge of creating and distributing multimedia learning materials for the hardest-to-serve ABE (adult basic education) and ESL adult learners". It was developed by the Division of Adult Career Education (DACE) of the Los Angeles Unified School District. It consists of five stories divided by four episodes each one full of audio, video, and grammar exercises.
You can sign in to have your progress registered or enter the course as a visitor (no registration needed). But if you are a teacher you may register yourself and create a class, then you will receive a password to give your students so you can follow their progress and print some material as well. Let's ALL learn English!

National Wildlife Resources

The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) has some great resources for educators on their web site. There is a news section, wildlife animal information and resources, environment and global climate change resources, and much more.


They have wildlife cameras that you can view, such as the Eagle Cam, an incredible Wildlife Library with information about different species, and Wild Places where you can virtually visit and explore some great wild parts of America.




There are outdoor activity guides and things to do outside, Wildlife news reports, and Global Climate Change resources.

This is a great resource for teachers and students to use when studying wildlife, nature, and the environment. I'm getting ready to start a unit under the motto "The World Around Us", so it sounds "perfect stuff" to me ;)
