The Teacher's Corner

The teacher's corner is specifically designed for your resources, including examples for lessons plans that are developed by other educators. These lessons are further organized into lesson plans for different grade levels and along various subjects and/or projects. Teachers may also view National Science Education Standards as well as California Stateboard of Education for further information about curricular frameworks for specific grade levels.

The Teacher's Corner will be dynamically changing and evolving, so check for new lesson plans, examples, and other resources. You may get started by exploring sites, such as those published in Tech Learning News, especially the Top 10 Innovative Projects.

In addition, if you would like to submit your own lesson plan, or of your colleagues, please contact me. As always, your comments are welcome.
