Increasingly, computers and the Internet have become
important tools for learning and measuring the effectiveness of
education. When using technology tools for learning, students are
developing basic core IT skills and competencies. These core skills lay
a strong foundation for skills used in careers that rely on IT (e.g.
accounting, administrative support, research). These are examples of
websites and resources that will provide ideas for a richer curriculum,
incorporating IT learning into almost any subject matter. Teachers
seeking lesson plans that use IT to teach mathematics, science,
economics, geography, language arts, and other topics will find these
useful. The links also include professional development resources for
teachers.
