CONTENT:
Best Practices of Technology Integration in Michigan offers K-12 lesson plans that were created by practicing teachers and tested in the classroom for effectiveness. All major content areas are covered and although they were written to address Michigan Standards they can easily be adapted for any classroom.
SITE DESIGN:
The lesson plans are grouped by grade level, elementary, middle school, and high school and categorized by subject area. Links are in the form of a table of contents on the main page. QuickTime and HyperStudio Player are needed for some of the lessons.
 

REVIEW:
Teachers who are new to integrating technology into the curriculum or veterans will find great lessons and ideas at this site. These “are examples of how technology can be used as a valuable tool in your classroom.” The lesson plans include Fine Arts, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Special Education, and Technology. They cover a variety of topics from the Iditarod to the Underground Railroad to simple machines to fossil fuels and much more. These lesson plans aren’t new, but they are good examples of how to implement technology use in the classroom and will give even the veteran teacher fresh ideas for developing their own plans.
