Integrating Web-based Resources Overview

	Speed up time-consuming tasks such as: finding and ordering classroom materials and books; sending a message to a colleague or parent; gathering info about a state or national teacher convention; and finding someone’s phone number or address;
	Put a wide variety of teaching resources at our fingertips, including materials developed by teacher professional development programs, professional scientific and teaching organizations, departments at colleges and universities, commercial vendors and organizations, federal agencies, and individual educators; and
	Enhance the lessons in our classrooms, engaging students in web searches, WebQuests, information gathering, and even interactive online units such as those at Project WISE.

We all have different computer and connectivity resources in our schools and classrooms. Therefore, it is important to have multiple types of models for integrating web-based resources into our teaching.

This page is designed to offer you several models we will be using in the APS Education Programs for developing web pages that can enhance your lessons or serve as a lesson in itself. As examples, we are including not only web pages that we have built to enhance APS and SRT lessons, but also links to other sites that offer additional models. Remember, this is only a sampler, not a comprehensive listing! Be sure to bookmark this page and check back often; we will be adding websites and corresponding models regularly.
