Barbara Feldman is a syndicated newspaper columnist, mother, and self-proclaimed Net surfer supreme. When she became a mother it piqued her interest in children's use of the internet. She now writes a weekly column that appears in newspapers all across the country and is uploaded to her blog called Surfing the Net with Kids. Her blog is filled with educational resources for parents and teachers.
One part of Barbara's blog is a section full of coloring pages. There are over twenty-five different categories to choose from with hundreds of coloring pages in each. There are pages available for the holidays, the months of the year, the alphabet, numbers, and many, many more topics. The coloring pages are a great addition for teachers to give the students during a lesson or to have available for the students to color when they finish their work early.
Another resource on her website is the games section. There are educational games for students and also child-appropriate games from around the internet. With thousands of games to choose from teachers can easily find one that will be a great supplemental resource to add to their lessons. Anything from science games to word searches to puzzles are available on the website. It can be difficult to find appropriate games for children that are fun but still educational on the internet so to have thousands of approved games in one place is a huge resource for teachers.
Overall, Barbara's site is full of information and materials for teachers and parents. If you have a website that you think would be a great resource for kids you can send your recommendations to Barbara. She has also created a Surfnetkids Printables Blog that teachers can join to find even more great resources for their classrooms.
