@http://www.remc11.k12.mi.us/bstpract/ From Michigan, this site hosts dozens of lesson plans written by practicing teachers and have been "kid tested" to work in the classroom. They are examples of how technology can be used as a valuable tool in your classroom. @http://www.kent.k12.wa.us/KSD/it/inst_tech/TechClassroom/k6_int_tech.html These K-6 technology-integrated units were developed for use by Kent School District teachers. They were designed as a way of providing teachers completed units directly correlated with current KSD curriculum. Many units also have extensions and are appropriate for those teachers already using technology in their classrooms. Each unit focuses on a curriculum topic combined with technology that meets the KSD technology standards at that grade level.
