Technology Planning, Grants and Funding, and English Language Learners resources are the three major focus areas for this evolving project. The California Instructional Technology Clearinghouse assists California educators to identify the highest quality technology resources. If an instructional program marketed to schools uses a computer, a VCR or laserdisc player, a network or the Internet or any combination of these, the Clearinghouse will evaluate it for use in California. The Clearinghouse's evaluation of instructional technology resources is a statewide collaboration which eliminates unnecessary duplication of effort, ensures consistency of evaluations, and provides publishers and producers with one central contact point for evaluation of instructional technology resources in California. This document outlines how to control student access to inappropriate internet content, both from home and school.
Students can enter text and graphic notes into the database on any topic their teacher has created.
All students on the network can read the notes and students may build on or comment on each others' ideas.
