However, MERLOT is more than that &#8211; it is a content building opportunity for educators and a community of people who want to make the best out of their teaching. MERLOT will help you find out what have been done already in your field and will provide you with lots of resource to build your own materials and contribute them to the database. It is a free resource and it will help you become the best educator you can. I recommend you to check it out. It also has Teacher Education area which is great.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.merlot.org\/merlot\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.merlot.org\/merlot\/images\/merlotlogo.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"MERLOT - Multimedia Education Resource for Learning and Online Teaching\" width=\"187\" height=\"53\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"18\">\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0px;
