Welcome to the Field Guide Five. Each month in this section we will be choosing a different category from which we'll share five resources. For example, this week we're bringing you "Five Web Resources for Educators." Just a quick disclaimer: some of these sites do not completely reflect our worldview, however there are valuable resources in each.

Wilderdom.com
This site is filled with information to help you and your students experience living in connection to nature, or wilderdom, as they call it. It has tons of great group games and initiatives that can be used for all sorts of creative purposes, along with plenty of other experiential learning resources. It is also filled with great ideas of how to help protect God's creation.

TheWildClassroom.com
This group of scientists have one goal; to get kids excited about science. They have dedicated their time to creating fun and fascinating videos for teachers to use in classroom. You have the option of subscribing to their video podcast on iTunes so that you receive each video they create. Or you can browse through their library and find a video on a specific topic such as pond ecosystems. Each video has an accompanying lesson plan and teaching tools. 

Teachertube.com
Here is a great site that functions as a search engine for educational videos. Just type in a subject and it will bring up tons of videos related to that topic. It functions just like youTube, but helps you narrow your results so that it is easier to find something useful for the classroom.

ProjectWild.org
Project WILD is a wildlife focused conservation education program for K-12 educators and their students. Here you can find all sorts of activities that can easily be adapted to meet the learning requirements for academic disciplines ranging from science and environmental education to social studies, math, and language arts. You won't be able to get all Project Wild has to offer without attending one of their workshops, which I highly recommend, but this site is still a great resource.

ProjectWet.org
The mission of Project WET is to reach children, parents, educators, and communities of the world with water education. They are doing this by publishing materials and lesson plans for teachers, and creating a global water education delivery network designed to reach children through educators. Just like Project WILD, in order to gain access to all they have to offer you will need to attend one of their great workshops
