technology resources for education
This page is intended to be a central resource for teachers who are interested in incorporating more technology into their instruction and professional experience. It is divided into three categories: Curriculum Resources, Instructional Ideas, and Technology Resources. Each of these areas target a particular area that teachers often are interested in when working to improve their craft and each area includes a combination of professional articles and readings, as well as interactive sites that contain specific tools or strategies available for immediate use in a classroom.
