It is a searchable database of lesson plans developed throughout the Lane ESD schools as part of the Project 10,000 technology grant program. Each lesson plan is tied to state benchmarks. ExploraSource allows you to select a subject and grade level. Then select a specific topic and media type. A list of software, audio, video, print, and web resources can be generated by the search.
Some materials are free, some are low-cost, and some are commercial products.
You can then select a standards match to determine which standards are met. Other Resources Oregon Content Standards has links to all of the content standards and benchmarks for the state of Oregon. They are searchable by area and grade level on the O.P.E.N. site. Comparing the standards can be useful in evaluating lesson plans or texts that are already tied to a different state's standards to see how those standards compare to the Oregon statndards. This software company has developed an application to help coordinate your plans with state standards.
