IB Psychology Resources

I was asked in a message what wonderful resources my IB Psych teacher used. I have no idea where she got the bulk of her photocopies from, but here's some of them, for the benefit of all you psych students out there:

http://web.isp.cz/jcrane/IB/Psych.html a site by a great IB teacher in Prague.

www.geocities.com/jatwood1971/ another site by another great IB teacher in Taipei.

http://www.ryerson.ca/%7Eglassman/Frame.html a site by the guy who wrote our main textbook, William Glassman, "Approaches to Psychology" - which is good, but superficial at some points

"Psychology in Perspective" by Carol Tavris - my teacher loves this book an has practically photocopied the entire thing for us.

"Foundations of Psychology" by Nicky Hayes - we got this as a supplementary textbook. Good for another point of view on some perspectives.

Also the Oxford revision guide series makes a good Pyschology review book for A-Level Psych, which we also used for IB.

Our class also compiled a list of key terms and studies on each perspective which are good to refer to in exams. I'm pretty sure I have them on my laptop for Biological, Cognitive, Learning and Cultural perspective. I'll post those later if I can find them on my computer...

I'm sure there's plenty more out there.. anyone want to add to the list?
