One great way to use technology is to introduce a topic or provide extra exposure and background for a curricular unit. Imagine the excitement generated when students hear Columbus talk about his journey and then can follow along in his footsteps.

If you close your eyes, can you picture a rainforest and imagine its sounds? Just ask one of the second grade students. They can because they used the program Destination: Rainforest to visit the rainforest and learn about rainforests and their animal and plant life.

First grade students have become insect detectives as they matched up insect drawings with their identifications by using the pictures and information available on Enchanted Learning’s Insect Pages.

How can students get a feel for all the billions of stars in the universe? What better way than to explore all the wondrous pictures taken by the Hubble Space Science Telescope of nebulas, stars, galaxies and strange stuff in space.

How many different colors of quartz are there? Just take a trip to the Minerals.net website along with our fourth graders to find out for yourself.
