This site offers an array of online resources such as dictionaries, directories, and miscellaneous sites to assist readers with their understanding of technology. Tips are offered to assist students with planning projects, creating databases and links to establish a strong technology foundation. Lesson plan libraries are offered to assist with planning in any subject area of your choosing. The virtual library also provides a glossary so that users can have a fundamental understanding of the terminologies used in the technological world

The Technology Student Association (TSA) is the only student organization devoted exclusively to the needs of students interested in technology. Members apply and integrate science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) concepts through co-curricular activities, competitive events and related programs.

This article and the video clip for Harrison Central High School is informative for teachers and administrators demonstrating best practices in the integration of technology into their curriculum. The students were engaged in the learning and application processes across the subject areas working effectively with their teachers.One of the major points of interest in the article is that students should be engaged in their engineering course work and that students should have fun. The article explains the importance in utilizing technology in every aspect of teaching in the classroom from tests and quizzes to group projects. The article also gives examples of students who have taken a high interest in technology due to their level of excitement, and have incorporated it into their daily lives. Students are taking the time on the weekends to develop concepts to implement engineering principles and practices. Students who are excited about technology spend more time utilizing it and therefore become better practicioners.

This site takes a look at ways to get students and educators excited about the field of engineering through a comprehensive yet fun engineering curriculum, low cost professional development and training for educators, and easy to use but powerful technology kit for students. The technology kit allows students to create engineering designs through the usage of their cellular phones, musical instruments, special effects in movies, and current internet applicatoins. This program removes the stigma of engineering being such a difficult science, and allows students and educators the opportunity to implement classroom training into everyday tasks and projects.

Great tool for kids computer programming.

The portal contains a CS curriculum for K-12 Schools along with many resources for teaching CS to kids and teens.

This is an article that talks about three important programs to make computer programming easy and fun.

Another great tool for middle and high school students

Explore how computer science is also about people, solving puzzles, creativity, changing the future and, most of all, having fun.

This site offers free CAD software that can be downloaded to use in engineering designs.This site provides a history of the various CAD programs as well as explanations for the changes that occurred in production due to cost effectiveness, user capability, and design. The site also gives implications for future researchers by taking a look at the new wave of CAD programs and their ability to generate profits for techonology companies. A list of the top CAD programs are explained, and special attention is placed on the key features and capabilities of each program.

This site gives a quantitative list of the various CAD systems and their functions. CAD systems vary in speed and user capability. The site emphasis the importance of the reader to familiarize him/herself with an array of CAD systems. All of these programs are free of charge which makes it accessible for all users.

This site is created by a worldwide volunteer community. It has computer science activities with instructions and worksheets. Some are with photos and videos showing some of the activities in action, and we've collected links to other useful resources. The activities are primarily aimed at the five to twelve year-old age group, but can also be used to teach older children and adults too with little modification. Teachers will be able to interactively engage in the activities in this site or will be able to download the activity worksheet for classroom use.

The IEEE Computer Society is the world's leading organization of computing professionals. It serves the information and career-development needs of today's computing researchers and professionals with books, conferences, conference publications, magazines, online courses, software development certifications, standards, and technical journals which we may need as resources and community/forum links for our virtual library.
