Free General Education E-Mail Newsletters
[Links to Each Title Covered on the Website]

"So much to read, so little time! If you are an education professional,
or just someone interested in education, how is it possible to keep
up-to-date with whats going on in the world of education? What news can
you use to stimulate your mind, and what ideas and projects can you steal
to use in your own classroom?

Here are twelve free e-mail newsletters that can give answers to
these questions and others, and are ones that I find helpful to my work
as a teacher. It takes less than twenty seconds to sign-up for most
of them. Even better, it doesnt take very long to skim through them
and identify the information that is most useful. Junk is not in
short-supply in cyberspace, and Ive certainly unsubscribed to more than
my fair share of newsletters that dont deliver what they promise.
However, Ive been a long-term reader of all of the ones Ive listed here.
Under the name of the sponsor of each newsletter, Ive listed in
parentheses the broader topic categories that best describe their content
in addition to a slightly longer description. Each link will take you
directly to the page where you can subscribe to the newsletter."


Content Sample:

Education World

<http://www.education-world.com/maillist.shtml>

(Education News, Lesson Plans, Other Resources)

Education World has been a source of many online resources over the years
that are useful to educators. They offer several free newsletters. Two
of the better ones are Education World Weekly Newsletter, which functions
as an update about new resources they offer on their site, and Education
World Headlines Newsletter, which is sort of a round-up of key education
news that has happened during the week. Both are sent-out once each week.




National Geographic

<http://newsletters.nationalgeographic.com/p/
National%20Geographic%20Society/NG_Registration_Page>

(Social Studies, Science, Lesson Plans, Other Resources)

Most teachers, at one time or another, have used some of the materials
developed by National Geographic. They publish many e-mail newsletters,
either coming out once per month or bi-weekly. Ive found three of their
newsletters particularly helpful: Inside National Geographic, National
Geographic Education Update, and National Geographic Earth Current.




Smithsonian Institution

<http://go.si.edu/smithsonian/join.html?r=0dx1eYK1ca3LE&>

(All Subjects, Lesson Plans, Other Resources)

Another source of excellent materials is our national museum, The
Smithsonian Institution. Smithsonian Focus is a monthly newsletter giving
an update on new online and on-site resources developed by the
Smithsonian. They also have a quarterly newsletter just for educators
called the Smithsonian Education E-Newsletter

http://www.smithsonianeducation.org/tools/subscribe.asp You have to
sign-up for the newsletters in two separate places.
