It’s a very exciting day for us. Teachbuzz, our resource site designed to provide teachers all over the world (even the poorest places on earth) with fantastic free lesson plans, is ready for the public! We’ve been working with Computerminds to develop the best lesson plan resource on Earth, and we’re ready for you to help us put on the final touches.
What makes Teachbuzz different?
No Cost Means No Cost, Anywhere
Many lesson plan sites exist, but they build their cost structure around the developed world’s standards. Their “No Cost” lessons use materials like paper, pencils, crayons, even high-end manipulatives that are a given in any developed country’s classrooms but are completely out of reach in the poorest places on Earth. Our default cost for a lesson is “Medium,” which means what you would expect to automatically be in a developed country’s classroom. However, if you choose “No Cost” on our site, you’ve truly created a lesson for the whole world, A Lesson for Anywhere™.
Even better, all lessons on Teachbuzz are shared under an open content license which means anyone can use them. What does that mean?
Tabbed Browsing Friendly
If you spend any serious amount of time online, you know the amazing benefits of tabbed browsing. Do a search, click on a half dozen or more viable options and browse through them quickly. Many lesson plan sites require you to download a lesson before you view it. At Teachbuzz, every lesson is available in full web-viewable glory, which means you can tab to your heart’s content.
Find Exactly the Lesson You’re Looking For:
Beta phase already has a wide array of search criteria that will help you get exactly the right lesson. Want a lesson for 3rd graders that takes two hours, can be taught using absolutely nothing, and teaches states of matter? No Problem!
As we develop further, you’ll be able to search for even more criteria. We’ll be incorporating ratings into the search, as well as a system of standards that let you search by whatever state or government objectives your school uses.
So Much More
Beta is a great start, and we think it’s already one of the best lesson plan sites on the planet, but we’ve got a lot more planned. Get started, get your input in, and help us create a lesson resource site that not only makes your life easier, but helps save the world!
