website provides Roman Catholics with sites for books, weekly issues
and resources for people at all levels. There are sites for young
children with weekly issues which engage young children-Bible Tails
with characters such as Holy Moley; Aletheia Press for older students
on teaching morality; sites for curriculum products; and suppliers
of Baptismal, Communion dresses and suits and rosaries, etc; as well

- The
Catholic Educator's Resource Center
- This
site provides a collection of articles/resources related to current
issues such as homosexuality, abortion, euthanasia, etc. Throughout
the literature, the Catholic views and the Church's teachings on such
issues are presented and outlined using up to date examples. This
is a good resource for teachers who would like to further investigate
controversial topics. This site provides valuable information that
will make a teacher better able to answer challenging questions generated
within the classroom using real life situations/issues to complement
the teaching found in the Cathechism of the Catholic Church.--Lisa
- Catholic
Mom
- The
web site is created by Catholic moms and provides wonderful resources
and links for teachers. First, for educators, the home page offers
useful activities and ideas to engage elementary children with their
faith. Some activities for the classroom are, crossword puzzles
from Sunday gospel readings, book reviews, colouring pages, fun places
for children online and project ideas such as, Advent and Christmas.
Teachers can also learn more about a topic such as, the meaning of
Easter or the passing of Pope John Paul II. The sharing of religious
materials, allows one to continue learning about their faith and religious
traditions. Second, the site offers various links such as, parenting,
faith and music. The music link enables a teacher to choose a
specific artist, read an interview with the person or group such as,
Sarah Hart, Brotherhood of Hope and Angelina, listen to the hymn and
consider the best time to use the song according to the liturgical
calendar. Also, the site provides many other music links such
as, ChantCD.com, Mother Teresa Song and Musilica. This site is
also offers Catholic radio links and this maybe beneficial for teenagers. --Marisa

Online
- Catholic
Online is the largest catholic website in the U.S. This website has
an educational channel link called Parish and School Resource Centre
which provides informative advice for churches, pastors, principals
as well as school educators in the area of Total School Stewardship
and Catholic School Development. It features artiacles on successful
programs and case studies from Catholic Parishes and schools that
have embraced this way of operating. This site has an audience of
over 200,000 Catholic users per day. In conjunction to this link,
there is another educational link called www.Catechismclass.com
which caught my attention. This site provides a trustworthy and highly
integrated religious education program for K to grade 12 students
with daily on-line lessons with built-in accountability and student
centered materials. This site would be an ideal way to meet more of
our Catholic responsibilities as teachers of Religious Education.
Computers are in the classrooms. The students love using this technology.
Why not blend the two.--Cora Donnelly
- Catholic
City
- For
the teachers that are having problems incorporating Religion with
Global Issues…don’t go any further…this site is
for you!! The website gives current updates on world issues with reference
to the opinion of the Church. It is an electronic newspaper talking
about ongoing issues of today such as: terrorist attacts, partnerships
between China and Russia and the election of the Pope. Next, it posts
Catholic jobs on line. How common is that? There is also a section
for teachers entitled “Catholic Church Teaching” which
covers areas like: Catechism, Catholic Encyclopedia, Bible Studies,
Canon Law and more. You can find prayers and devotions, free catholic
novels and other “best” Catholic links. This site can
enable students to research, read Catholic material and teachers can
be assured that the material would be legitimate in the Catholic Board.
Great site…visit it!! -- Teresa De Angelis
- FaithFirst.com
- This
website is primarily intended as a program for students to learn about
the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It also
is a great resource for catechists, religious education teachers,
and families. There are many different sections for students to explore
such as the Kid's clubhouse (grades k-3) which has bible stories,
arcade games, tours, information on saints, and a reading club. It
is grade level specific with information and activities up through
grade 8 and even into the teen years. The website offers an advice
column and discussion board, as well as liturgical year activities,
prayers, book reviews, and online books and resources. Note: When
you access the section for catechists and teachers, click on the books
in the library to access to sections of interest to you. It is easy
to navigate through this site and is a beneficial tool in aiding the
awareness of the Catholic Faith. -- Christine Fabbri

to familiarize themselves with the church's view on just about any

What I found to be very helpful was the information it has on Saint
Paul (it has info about his family history as well as his teachings
and his life). -- Antonella Pellegrino

- Resources
for Catholic Educators
- This
website is fantastic for Catholic Educators because it provides relevant
lesson plans for religous ed. throughout the school year (Advent,
Lent, Ordinary Time) that can be an addition to our religious text
we use at our schools. One fanstastic thing I loved about this web
site was all the available religious clip art that, once again, is
useful for all the seasons of the church (Christmas, Easter, etc.).
This is great for religious displays and worksheets we use in our
classrooms. There were also great links for resources such as magazine
articles and books. Also I found very useful the prayers and meditations
that can be found dailyon the website that can be easily incorporated
into our daily prayers in our classrooms.--Josie Vidiri

acts mostly as an online newspaper keeping you informed of Christian
events around the world through Catholic links, but also seeks to
attend to the teachings of Catechists and theologians. In addition,
it is an excellent source for families by including information on
the Eucharist and many other faith-based topics. -- Christine Fabbri
