NYNET
Resources for Teachers Current Role
Through our continuing model of
professional development, we will move forward with developing quality
content for inclusion on our project resource site. The projects that
have been developed and will continue to be developed in the future will
have statewide access.
In addition to the many projects that exist on our site, we are
continuing to develop resources that will enhance student learning and achievement.
- NYNET Resources for Teachers, the
former Capital Region Collaboration for Technology Education, has
been selected as one of the seven Title III consortiums to play a
role in the NY State Virtual Learning Space (NYSVLS) Content
Development Grant. The seven recipients will engage in a
collaborative effort to transform the process of classroom
teaching and learning and to assist students in achieving high
academic performance and attaining knowledge and skills required
in the 21st century and global economy
NYSVLS

Out of 19 applications,
seven were chosen based on the quality, significance, and value
criteria. They have developed rich and quality educational content for
teachers and students. With the grants, they will continue to develop
their web content and increase bandwidth and hosting capacity to make
their resources open and free to all New York schools. At the same time,
they will work collaboratively to develop an integrated web portal for
