  This is an excellent idea for a district to implement. Teaching teaches how to curate content online to align it with state standards. Does it take time? Yes. But, instead of playing outside consultants and companies to do this, a special committee of well trained and motivated teachers can come together and do this. They can pay them extra for this position. I think this will even motivate more teachers to get digitally ready when they see their colleagues getting payed extra for this kind of stuff.

The goal is to provide materials that meld with a teacher's normal workflow-and not to become yet another website to visit. "We're trying to curate good content, letting them know it's been reviewed and meets our standards, while also being mindful that there are a lot of resources out there,"

Have you ever wanted to create short "how to" video for your students to use for homework, remembering facts, and solving math problems. How often have your students stated, "I could not complete the homework assignment, because I could not remember the steps and no one could help me." Well the answer is to create a screencast or video for posting on your class wiki or blog for students to view at home or anywhere else they have web access.

Why use Web 2.0 tools in science and math classes? The primary reason is they facilitate access to input and interaction with content through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. These tools offer enormous advantages for science and math teachers, in terms of helping their students learn using Web 2.0 tools. For example: * Most of these tools can be edited from any computer connected to the Internet. Teachers can add, edit and delete information even during class time. * Students learn how to use these tools for academic purposes and, at the same time, can transfer their use to their personal lives and future professional careers. * RSS feeds allow students to access all the desired research information on one page. * Students learn to be autonomous in their learning process.
