English Resources

Contents

This page is devoted to aggregating all of the best resources on the web and through other means, including OSAPAC(Ontario Software Acquisition Program Advisory Committee). All that I have done so far is aggregate the ministry licensed software and resources and included a few of the main websites that can be used for the English Curriculum. Hopefully you can add your favourite links and resources to the page so that we can get a comprehensive listing of technological resources available to english teachers in Ontario.
