Quality
Internet Content for the Classroom
Through
a partnership between Verizon Foundation and the Hawai`i
Department of Education Advanced Research Branch, Hawaii's teachers have
an opportunity to access free, high-quality, standards-based
Internet Content for the Classroom and receive free professional
development training.
MarcoPolo
provides quality Internet curriculum content for K-12 teachers,
offering over 1000+ original lessons and reviewed resources
through the partner web sites. The MarcoPolo web site (http://www.marcopoloeducation.org/)
is a gateway to a world of original content, panel-reviewed
links to top web sites, a search engine that helps teachers
find important information quickly, and extensive supplemental
resources across multiple disciplines: the Arts, Economics,
Geography, Humanities, Mathematics, Reading, Writing, and Science.
Through
a grant provided to the HDOE, a team of classroom teachers
have aligned the MarcoPolo Partner lessons. Teachers can
browse
the database by content area, lesson, and/or grade level.
