  • First… lets take a look at the free  (or almost free) resources provided below
  • 1. Khan Academy As the site states… watch, practice… learn almost anything. There are over 3,100 videos in multiple STEM areas
  • You also may wish to look for videos or activities using the Common Core at any level of math by exploring Khan’s Common Core Page.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • 2. MIT Blossoms BLOSSOMS video lessons are enriching students’ learning experiences in high school classrooms for students across the globe. This amazing video library contains over 50 math and science lessons, all freely available to teachers as streaming video and Internet downloads and as DVDs and videotapes
  • The lessons intersperse video instruction with planned exercises that engage students in problem solving and critical thinking, helping students build the kind of gut knowledge that comes from hands-on experience. By guiding students through activities from beginning to end, BLOSSOMS lessons give students a sense of accomplishment and excitement. You can even check these lessons out by standards.
  • 3. Curriki  This is the community of K12 open resources. Currently Curriki has 6.5 million users and contains over 40,000 K12 free learning resources
  • 4. NROCK The National Repository of Online Courses (NROC) is a growing library of high-quality online course content for students and faculty in higher education, high school and Advanced Placement
  • 5. HippoCampus This amazing resource claims to be teaching with the power of media. HippoCampus is a project of the Monterey Institute for Technology and Education (MITE)
  • 6. WikiBooks Welcome to a collection of open-content textbooks collection that anyone can edit. The Wikibooks collection currently contains 2,443 books with 40,980 pages.
  • 7. CK12 Interactive Book I bring this amazing resource up because it is a a relatively new initiative. The community at CK12 Flexbooks and Wolfram Alpha have combined efforts to bring you this awesome Interactive Algebra Book. 
  • 8. Flexbooks I did include this in the last post but wanted to make sure it was added to the list. So… what is a FlexBook?  They may be best described as customizable, standards-aligned, free digital textbooks for K-12 education. FlexBooks are customizable textbooks that teachers can use online,via  flash drives, CD’s, or as printed books.
  • Wikijunior books are produced by a worldwide community of writers, teachers, students, and young people all working together
  • You may also wish to explore Wikijunior, a project  to produce age-appropriate non-fiction books for children from birth to age 12
  •  Wikibooks is for textbooks, annotated texts, instructional guides, and manuals
  • As a general rule only instructional books are suitable for inclusion

    As the world population continues to grow and become more connected than ever, The DuPont Challenge asks students to consider our most important challenges by researching and writing a 700-1,000-word science essay in one of the four categories: Together, we can feed the world. Together, we can build a secure energy future. Together, we can protect people and the environment. Together, we can be innovative anywhere. The first three categories reflect the global challenges on which DuPont as a company focuses its efforts. The fourth category opens up possibilities for students to address other important topics, using scientific research to solve issues that can range from medicine and health to mathematical computation to any science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) topic that students are passionate about. For 7th-12th grades

    What is the Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge? The Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge is a K-12 sustainability challenge. For high school, students form teams of two, three, or four students and work with a teacher/mentor to identify an environmental issue with implications beyond their community, research it, develop a plan, collect data, analyze that data, and share the results they've found so far. For high school students, the Challenge focuses on creating solutions that can be replicated for energy-related issues or problems on a global scale

  • The 2012 West Point Bridge Design Contest will follow this schedule: Contest registration opens at 1:00 p.m. EST on January 17, 2012. The West Point Bridge Designer 2012 software will be available for download at this time as well. The Qualifying Round will be conducted from 1:00 p.m. EST on January 19, 2012 to 1:00 p.m. EST on March 1, 2012. The Semi-Final Round will be conducted from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT on March 30, 2012. To compete in the Semi-Final Round, you must be available at the designated time. The Final Round will be conducted on May 3, 2012, at West Point, New York. To compete in the Final Round, you must be able to travel to West Point and to compete at the designated time.
  • The three-round format of this contest is designed to provide all participants with the most valuable learning experience possible, while also ensuring that our contest winners are, in fact, the world's best virtual bridge designers. Students learn most effectively if they can share ideas with their teachers and fellow students. For this reason, there are no restrictions on collaboration during the Qualifying Round of the contest. However, during the Semi-Final and Final Rounds, contestants are not allowed to collaborate with anyone outside of their own teams. This restriction ensures that our winning teams earn their prizes through their own individual performance.
