Resources for FCS Teachers

So many resources, so little time to search for them! Every educator appreciates resources that they can easily take into their classroom and use instantly. I make it a practice to search for online blogs, and podcasts that can be used in FCS classrooms, and use those links when I am presenting to groups of FCS educators and administrators. Although I find numerous food related websites online, very few (if any?) are authored by FCS educators. There are even less clothing/textiles related blogs & podcasts created by FCS educators. Now is a great time to promote your program by getting the word out online! We have the expertise to share information with the community, assist familes, and help improve our children's health and level of fitness.

A few of my favorite resource sites include:
MyPyramid
Fruits and Veggies Matter
Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators
Woordle
Nutrition for Everyone
