Thinkfinity

Thinkfinity is an amazing resource for teachers looking for creative lesson plan ideas. Trying to put a creative spin on an old lesson plan can sometimes be harder than it sounds. However, while using thinkfinity teachers have access to amazing lesson plans, ideas, resources and materials that will transform any boring lesson plan. Thinkfinity serves as a search engine for lesson plans and ideas. When using the site, educators just have to type is in a key word or phrase, select their area of study and they are immediately shown dozens of creative and interactive lesson plans. However, thinkfinity does not just show you just the lesson plan, it references you to further resources and websites that can further enhance your lesson plan.

I have often used thinkfinity when having to design unit plans for my various teaching classes. It is exceptionally effective to use for unit planning due to the wealth of resources it provides for one subject. Once I found a lesson plan that I really liked, I further used the resources provided to use in other lesson plans in my unit. Thinkfinity is also a very versatile tool for teachers of all grade levels as well. Whether a teacher seeks to challenge their students or to seek a more basic lesson plan, thinkfinity is an excellent resource for finding the perfect lesson plan.

Powered by the Verizon foundation, teachers have access to lesson plans, educational resources, videos and other multimedia materials for free. This foundation has dedicated themselves to providing educators with amazing resources and avenues for teachers to explore to create interactive and unique lesson plans for their students. In my experience, thinkfinity is an excellent place to start when creating a lesson plan or to further enhance the material you may already have. I would recommend this website as an excellent tool for both new and veteran teachers to use to create their own creative and engaging lesson plans for their students.
