Information Technology for grades 8 to 10

Information Technology for grades 11 and 12

The above IT curricula are among the best in the world. They show how the tools of information technology can be integrated into any subject. I am very proud of these as I was the lead of the team that developed them.

Applied Academic Web Site This is another project I worked on. I would recommend that you go visit this site to learn more about Applied Academics. This site also links to other sites that focus on this exciting new innovation for students.

These links are designed to help educators, parents, students and others, at all levels (beginning, or advanced), find "convenient, age-appropriate, activity-based ideas and web sites that can be used in the classroom immediately."

Many teacher leaders have developed hundreds, if not thousands, of sites for other educators, which are accessible via the Internet, but many teacher do not have the time to seek these sites out. We have started this task here. If you would like some more background information go here.
