Websites for Educators: Imagine the Possibilities
Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit 21 hosted a Classrooms for the Future In Action Showcase on Friday, April 17, 2009 that provided a snapshot of the impact of CFF technology integration in core-curriculum classrooms in Carbon and Lehigh Counties. Fifteen school districts from all three Cohorts, including 8 part-time and 10 full-time CFF Coaches attended. Pennsylvania has over 430 teachers and 14,000 students impacted by the affordances of Governor Edward G. Rendell’s robust vision and leadership. We can only imagine the possibilities if the additional monies proposed in the Governor’s 2009-2010 budget are received. Special thanks to Cathy Enders, Beth Breiner, Michael Cichocki, and TJ McKeon (IU 21), Dave Marra (Apple), Michael Torrenti (einstruction), and Katherine Walraven (Taking It Global) for making this day another IU 21 success story.
The following links represent most of the resources shared during the Showcase.

I am a tutor and I am glad to read this. I shall apply these sites.
Imagine the possibilities humans would make colonies under the sea & would live with their dear ones. The dangers on land & sea would be different. Change in life style. eating / sleeping methods.etc.
Imagining possibilities of traveling at the speed of light, would that mean that one would also travel time while traveling at speed of light.
