FREE! History Materials

After talking to Mrs. Forbes about history books I buy and read along with magazines that contain historical articles, she informed me of a method to get those magazines, along with supplemental classroom materials FREE! At that point I was introduced to one of many websites where you register yourself as a teacher and you will then receive free, monthly magazines and supplemental teaching tools. One site that I have already registered with and that seems very straight forward in accepting your registration and sending the material out quickly is http://www.aetv.com/class/theideabook/index.html. This site is a branch off of the A&E television program that is specifically for teachers to use and attain free historical documents, magazines, supplemental videos, recordings, and so forth. As you complete the registration part you are then taken to a website where you simply pick the magazine, video, audio recording, and so on, then they are mailed to you with suggestive methods on teaching the lesson with the material given. This “IDEA Book” as it is called will take the strain away from your wallet when you are trying to purchase productive and essential learning materials for your classroom and students. When you visit the site via the link above, fill out the subscription form in only the areas you are required* and then browse through the catalog on the acceptance screen. Here on this screen you will find an Adobe link to preview the upcoming magazine that will be sent to you, along with links to other sites like:
· http://www.HistoryChannel.com/classroom
· http://www.historyinternational.com/classroom.
Both of which are credible research and educational material sites. Granted, these sites pertain to only history, but under the “Classroom Tips” section on the main page, you will find an abundance of educational information on how to effectively convey your information to the students which could be altered and utilized for any subject. So here you go future history teachers, a credible list of sites that will give you FREE educational merchandise to use for yourself and your students.
