 * = ==General Description == ||= Ed Helper is a subscription based web site that offers countless materials for teachers. Its tag line is “dedicated to providing teachers a single shop for educational resources.” The main resource is printable and designable worksheets. These worksheets range from puzzles, test prep, lessons, and holiday themes to name a few. They site is easy to use and the products are customizable and downloadable to a .pdf file. The site also includes almost all subject areas: Reading, Writing, Foreign Languages, and Critical Thinking as examples. It also encompasses grade levels Pre to High School. Also included are lesson plans that cover a wide variety of subjects, themes, and times of the year. ||
 * = ==Teacher/Student Use == ||= This site is a teacher only resource. This is a subscription-based service. So, obviously, you are going to have to register and pay. For a basic package it is $19.99 per year and for the “everything” package $39.98 per year. There are packages for groups of teachers on one collective license. $39.98 per teacher for a 1-year subscription and $29.98 per teacher per year with a 2-year subscription. This is based on a minimum of five teachers. ||
 * = ==Things to Know Before You Go == ||= The site is very no-frills. Not real flashy (a simple picture in top left corner on a white screen), but it does deliver on what it is selling. I have used it (//demo via friend log-in) (shh, don’t tell) //and I like what is creates. It is a simple choice to the teacher if it is worth the price for the product. ||
