The benefits are obvious: we reduce dependence on Middle Eastern oil, making us more secure; we lower the carbon emissions into the atmosphere that contribute to global warming; and we put America's technology community to work on these important problems, creating jobs, ensuring that the U.S. leads in the development and sale of new technologies. Greater fuel efficiency just makes sense. It is technologically possible. The benefits are obvious. The obstacles can be overcome. Politicians need to know voters want it. Automakers need to hear from consumers directly.

Summary: The story of Tortisha and Harry is presented to the class: Harry is so sure that he can run faster than Tortisha, that he will give her a 2 mile head start in a race. Harry runs at the rate of 3/4 mile in 6 minutes and Tortisha runs at the rate of 1/2 mile in 5 minutes. Will Harry ever catch Tortisha? Students first map the progress of Tortisha and Harry using the Dream Track worksheet. Finding this to be quite tedious and confusing, they make a chart to examine patterns and then graph Harry’s and Tortisha’s progress. Finally, students analyze the problem to arrive at algebraic representations for both Harry’s and Tortisha’s rates. This information is entered into the graphing calculator which generates both a chart and graph of the situation. So, the question still remains, “ Who will win the race?” Students discover that either Tortisha or Harry could win the race, or it could be a draw. It all depends on the length of the race.

Site Title: Applet: Seasons
Link: Click here
Summary: "Many people believe that the seasons are caused by the Earth changing its distance to the Sun during its annual elliptical orbit. This is wrong. In fact, the Earth is closest to the Sun in January, when it is coldest in the northern hemisphere. Instead, the seasons are caused by the Earth's axis of rotation not standing perpendicular to its plane of rotation around the Sun, but at an angle of 23° In this applet we created a tool to visualize the origin of the seasonal variation of the temperature. We select the reference frame of the Earth to do this and show where in the sky the Sun is as a consequence of the revolution of the Earth around it."

The challenge, of course, is in finding ways to use technology -- and to help students use it -- that don’t take time away from core subjects. Education World offers the following 19 easy ways in which you can seamlessly integrate technology into your daily and weekly classroom routines

Site Title: Increasing Student Engagement and Motivation
Link: Click here
Summary: High motivation and engagement in learning have consistently been linked to reduced dropout rates and increased levels of student success (Blank, 1997; Dev, 1997; Kushman, 2000; Woods, 1995). Yet, keeping students interested in school and motivating them to succeed are challenges that present themselves year after year to even the most seasoned teachers. In fact, numerous studies have shown that student engagement in school drops considerably as students get older (Anderman & Midgley, 1998). By the time students reach middle school, lack of interest in schoolwork becomes increasingly apparent in more and more students, and by high school, as dropout rates attest, too many students are not sufficiently motivated to succeed in school (Lumsden, 1994).
