    These 4 projects don't offer Real Time Data access, collaboration, communication (Expert or otherwise) authentic content, unique content or original resources.  They do provide the classroom teacher an opportunity to support their face-to-face instruction with custom, online resources.  While not compelling they are uniquely 21st Century!

  • Law Enforcement Technology
  • Civil War History 1861-1865
