It's not too late to incorporate some of the ESTME Week teaching resources and activities into your classroom. The ESTME website http://www.estme.org offers a wealth of information, such as "the best of the best" in online science, math, and technology resources nationwide and interactive experiences. Don't miss a webcast of a Capitol Hill version of the Exploratorium's popular "Iron Science Teacher" competition. Also this week, on Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education will hold the first-ever Summit on Science as part of the Administration's nationwide Math and Science Initiative. Top leaders in science and education, including Secretary of Education Rod Paige, will come together to discuss the importance of K-12 science education and showcase innovative science programs. And later this week, President Bush will announce the 2003 Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching recipients. <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<> EDUCATIONAL CYBERPLAYGROUND http://www.edu-cyberpg.com VENDORS REACH THE EDUCATION MARKET FREE EDUCATION VENDOR DIRECTORY LISTING Find PREMIUM & FEATURED MERCHANT LISTING ALSO http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Directory/default.asp HOT LIST OF SCHOOLS ONLINE http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Schools/default.asp SERVICES http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/PS/Home_Products.html Net Happenings,K12 Newsletters, Network Newsletters http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/index.html <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>
