Latest News Introducing ESL Worksheet, activities and lesson plan search |
|
I began work cataloging massive amounts of worksheets and lesson plans. However, after doing about 100 or so, I quickly realized that the task was simply too immense of an undertaking. I resorted to listing the key places to find worksheets and lesson plans around the web in our material directory under weblinks. This was all right for awhile, but I discovered people were coming to my blog and still looking for that particular worksheet or lesson plan and I wasn't really addressing their needs. I happened upon an idea. What if I selected all the key ESL material websites and organized them into a search engine for people to search? I just so happened to already have a customized search engine running, so what's adding a few more websites? So today, I'm making an addition to ESL search. It will now include 22 ESL material sites to help you find what you need.

About 2 years ago, I thought I was going to change the world by cataloging most of the worksheets and lesson plans on the web. It seemed like a simple idea and one that could potentially pay off. I've had a lot of trouble trying to find a good worksheet from time to time. It's hard to sift through the search results and get that one worksheet you want.
