Mission Statement
  • To provide educators with Internet resources to enhance curriculum
  • To connect learning communities through the Internet medium


  • Author's Statement
        This site is designed to help teachers find Internet resources, such as information web sites, collaborative projects, and online lesson plans, that will enhance curriculum.  As an educator in New York City, I have tried to create sites connected to curriculum in New York City schools or of special interest to urban schools.  I began the design of this site during a technology workshop sponsored by the Bank Street College of Education and the Center for Improved Engineering and Science Education at the Stevens Institute of Technology, and I thank my workshop leaders, Carol Shields and Davia Franklyn for their support and insight.  I would like to add more web pages to support different curriculum, and to include correlations to the New York State Standards in the future (don't ask me when, though!).  Enjoy!

    Links
    The Heart of the Earth: The Garden   This site provides links to projects, books, and resources to assist teachers in studying the urban habitat and creating community gardens.
    The Human Body: Focus on Bones and Muscles  This site provides links to resources that enhance a health and human body curriculum study focused on the skeletal and muscular system.  (The site was designed to connect to the FOSS Human Body Grades 3-4 curriculum unit.)

    Here are some links that helped me locate the resources I include on my pages:
