Resource Organizations Directory

Laboratories and other organizations that provide information and assistance on such
topics as standards, teaching methods or at-risk learners. The
State/Territories Map is a favorite of mine for quick reference on a particular state.

Federal
Resources for Educational Excellence
More than 30 Federal agencies formed a working group to
make hundreds of federally supported education resources available. Looking for
Partners promotes the partnering of educators with a Federal Agency. There is
also The Parents Guide to the Internet, which was a response to a request
from President Clinton. My favorite is a link to a NCREL Project called
Captured Wisdom--an online CD-ROM library (free! just like it says...) with
examples of incorporating technology into lesson plans. Lots of good
stuff--broken down by grade levels (K-3, 4-8, 9-12). The CD-ROMs contain video
descriptions of how technology is used to enhance classroom learning.

your computer (2torial #0554), repair a scratched CD (2torial # 0836),
housebreak a cat (!) or even (you deserve a break) how to shop for a

National
Library of Education
The National Library of
Education keeps trying to organize itself into a user friendly site.
With the dearth of information becoming available it's difficult to
stay current (the front page was last modified October 7, 1999)
However, for those who feel search savvy, the effort is worth it. Link
to ERIC, ED PUBS, Gateway to Educational Materials, National
Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities, and the U.S. Network for Education
Information. Remember-it's the government- and these are the people who come up
with those pesky tax forms . . .
