Welcome to Internet4Classrooms

Over a decade ago (February, 1997) Susan Brooks and Bill Byles began a collaborative effort to extend assistance to fellow teachers. In November of 2000 that project expanded to the web as Internet4Classrooms.com (i4c). The web portal which we call I4C is free to anyone who wants to find high-quality, free Internet educational resources to use in the classroom or at home. Our resources are organized by grade, by subject area, by technology, by educational standard, and the list goes on. The portal is used by people on six of the seven continents (there are not many classrooms in Antarctica) and is available to anyone with an Internet connection. To find out more about Susan and Bill, please go to our short bios.
To stay current in a now Web 2.0 world, over the coming months we are embarking on new ways to share what we have learned with teachers, parents, students and anyone who would benefit from the information that we have gathered over the years.

Stay tuned as we embark on our new site re-design, social networking feeds, blogging, Twitter, newsletters, and so much more!
