marcopolo.com
By Jenn

Try the marcopolo website: http://marcopolo.worldcom.com

From this site you can go to different subject area links (located in frames on the right side) with interactive technology
lessons that are connected directly to national and, if you are lucky, state standards. I have integrated this site and their ideas into my classroom instruction numerous times. This is a great site to help improve schoolwide test scores as well as most questioning techniques mandate higher order thinking skills.
Yes, I realize that worldcom is the sponsor for this site. I've

been told by a couple of my state marcopolo representatives (all 50 states now have them) that this site is NOT in any danger of being forced to shut down due to the worldcom scandal. The worldcom department involved in the scandal has no ties to the education department that developed this site and the contracts with the 50 states. That's what I've been told anyway!
