Teachers Beware and Vet with Care: Online Educational Marketplaces
Archambault, Leanna; Shelton, Catharyn; Harris, Lauren McArthur
Phi Delta Kappan, v102 n8 p40-44 May 2021
Today, millions of teachers search online to locate ideas and activities for classroom use. While some may visit established curricular sites with vetted classroom materials, many others turn to online educational marketplaces such as TeachersPayTeachers. However, issues of quality on these sites remain in question -- particularly when it comes to the extent to which diverse perspectives are included or excluded. Leanna Archambault, Catharyn Shelton, and Lauren McArthur Harris highlight concerns surrounding the limited perspectives present in online educational marketplaces and provide research-driven guidelines for educators evaluating resources from such sites.
