Session with Rob Bayuk, Microsoft K-20 Marketing Manager. Microsoft and ISTE have joined forces to put together a series of web literacy lessons, activities, and support resources to help students develop their critical thinking skills when searching the web. The new student-centered curriculum will provide guidance and activities for your students on how to search effectively, how to analyze "the anatomy of a search result," and moreover, understand how to judge the validity and source of the content they find on the web. This curriculum was developed collaboratively by ISTE and Microsoft and will be available soon, free to educators.
The mission of the HP Digital Assist program is to leverage the passion and interest that students have in technology, basketball and sports in general and demonstrate their understanding of key concepts. HP, NBA Cares and ISTE are partnering to bring the power of technology and professional basketball to middle school students by providing teachers with interactive and engaging technology opportunities.
Global SchoolNet's Projects Registry (PR) is the oldest (1995) and largest online clearinghouse for teacher-conducted global learning projects. The PR contains more than 3,000 annotated listings - and is searchable by date, age level, geographic location, collaboration type, technology tools or keyword. The PR is a central place for educators to find global partners and announce projects.
