Switching hemispheres for a moment

The Math and Science Gateway Out of Cornell was referenced in the live chat of the Technology Counts article; it is an example of one of the numerous online resources that teachers can use to bring technology into their classrooms.

There is a variety of math and science topics (of varying levels) that can students can access to gain a better understanding of the concepts, they are covering in class. This site also provides the opportunity to delve deeper into subjects of interest that the curriculum does not cover.

I spent some time in the astronomy and was amazed at the depth that they go into.

I hope you enjoy, and would like to know if there is a comparable site that focuses on English Language Arts.

Jo,
Thank you for sharing this site with us! I think that its great that you "switched hemispheres" because Friedman and other things we have read this semester talk about jobs in the science, math, and technology fields.

This would be a great site to show our students. They would be able to research these topics and see what interestsd them.
Thanks!
