Have you ever wanted to search through just educational sites? You can! There are several great portals to educational materials on the web. Some are free and some are subscription-based. Here are a few we recommend.
FREE and Deaf Education Specific -
Deafed.net
- http://www.deafed.net
This "Portal" into the world of Deaf Education is a fabulous resource
for teachers, parents, and students becoming teachers of the deaf and hard of
hearing. There is a calendar ready for all members to use, discussion forums,
document sharing, and so much more!

Clerc National Deaf Education Center - http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/index.asp
Lots of information, research and information related to Deafness. Info To Go
and TechEds Review are two of my favorite sections. TechEds Review has reviews
of software programs by teachers of the deaf and other members of the deaf education
community. Add reviews of your favorite software programs and let us know those
that didn't work with your students and why.
PEPNet
- http://www.pepnet.org
This network of agencies has a wealth of information and resources related to
the transition of deaf students from secondary to post-secondary settings. There
are also great materials for post-secondary placements to learn how to best
serve their young adults with hearing loss.
Don't forget our site - RMTC: D/HH - we continually work to bring the most technologically innovative research and information to your computer screen. ;-)
MarcoPolo: Internet Content for the Classroom -
http://www.marcopolo-education.org/
The MarcoPolo program provides no-cost, standards-based Internet content for
the K-12 teacher and classroom. Every state has contracted with MarcoPolo to
provide training in using this site and its partner sites. Florida is currently
beginning work to align the Sunshine State Standards with the activities and
materials recommended by the MarcoPolo staff. [Note: This site was originally
developed by WorldCom, but they are currently looking for funding to continue
their services.] FREE
