Note that if we are currently using this site, educatorpages.com, then we are struggling with using the google sites. You shouild therefore note that this is a free site for teachers to use, but the price for using it is that I cannot control many of the ads that are featured. Below is a list of links that are not installed by me. Certainly feel free to explore them, but be aware that I am not sponsoring them or advocating in any way the material you discover there.
Also, you can navigate the modules by linking to the pages in our navigation bar above. I will upload modules as they open for you.
