MakeToLearn.org provides an online space where teachers and students can come together virtually to explore digital fabrication, discuss it with like-minded colleagues, learn core academic content through lessons and curricular units, and discover new tools to facilitate digital fabrication in the classroom.

WISEngineering is a free, online environment that guides students through engineering design projects. Students collaborate as they brainstorm ideas, create and test solutions, refine and retest their designs, critique and share their projects. WISEngineering enables students to learn relevant science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts and skills in a just-in-time manner, and provides teachers and students with in-time feedback and assessment results about student learning.

videos and math but on youtube ;-(

MIT has a resource of 10,000 brilliant young people who represent the future of engineering and science — our students. They want to change the world, and are wiling to start by offering meaningful contributions to the national challenge facing K12 education. They also have access to some of the most sophisticated laboratory and experimental facilities in the world. As an initial test in the fall of 2011, the School of Engineering funded 38 student teams, at $1,000 each, to produce videos illustrating that the best spokespeople in the battle to engage young people in science and engineering are other young people — especially MIT students. Those videos, which are included in this site, told us that there might be some answers out there — but that we needed this to be bigger. We need to ask for a lot of help.

"eModules are interactive online units that target objectives identified as important in state and national standards, include lesson plans, contain interactive online activities, and provide online assessments. Each eModule is intended to cover between one and three class periods of instruction. "

"The STEM Curriculum Framework Crosswalks are visual matrices that depicts the cross-connections between the Course or Grade Level Expectations in the Tennessee Science and Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks and information found in related online national standards documents. When these alignment relationships are analyzed, valuable information can be gleaned that promotes a sharper understanding of things like curriculum standards, teaching strategies, classroom assessment, research on how children learn, etc.
