- Curriculum and Content Area Standards NETS for Students Technology Foundation Standards for All Students The technology foundation standards for students are divided into six broad categories. Standards within each category are to be introduced, reinforced, and mastered by students.

  Interactive Math Dictionary
  Terms are each defined by an interactive activity that helps clarify the definition.
  Reading Rockets - Author Podcasts
  This site is rich with resources for teachers and young readers. I especially like the video podcast interviews with authors such as Jack Prelutsky, Eve Bunting, R.L. Stine, and many others.
  Secondary
  An eighth grade history teacher in Missouri, Eric Langhorst, has an outstanding podcast called Speaking of History. His most recent project is a book study to explore the book, Guerrilla Season, by Pat Hughes. This is a story about what life was like in Missouri during the Civil War times. He as invited interested educators and students across the globe to read this book together and reflect on that reading on the blog, The Guerrilla Season Book Blog. The author of the book, Pat Hughes, will also actively participate in this project. Listen to the podcast explaining this project. Not only is this a fantastic opportunity to actively engage students in authentic learning about the civil war, but is an excellent model for other similar projects.
  K-12
  Exploratorium's Tools for Teachers
  This site offers a wealth of resources for hands-on science education.

  The New Face of Learning
  This articulate article, written by Will Richardson for Edutopia Magazine, examines how the new interactivity of the Read-Write Web is changing the way we interact with information in business and for entertainment. How can we use these powerful tools to engage our students in the classroom?
  Ed-Tech has been proven effective
  From E-school News comes this compelling article summarizing the recent study produced by Cisco Systems and Metiri Group, entitled, "Technology in Schools, What the Research Says". This summary and accompanying report examines which practices are most effective and which aren't.
