and information. The sites below provide lesson plans and ideas for teachers
and parents.

Created by the International Society of Technology in Education, the standards
project site has links to the National Educational Technology Standards
guide as well as several online resources and lesson plans. The lesson
plans can be searched by grade level and subject and provide blueprints
for technology integration into the classroom. The lessons are rich in
ways to educate students not only about the technology tools they are
using but also how to integrate and choose the technology and information
they use.
