IMPACT II Ready-Set-Tech Grants
Integrating Technology into the K-12 Curriculum

The 2004-2005 IMPACT II Curriculum Catalog showcases the inaugural year of our Ready-Set-Tech Grant for teachers in New York City and Westchester-Rockland Counties in New York State. Grant-winning teachers are listed below along with each complete curriculum unit.

To qualify for an IMPACT II Ready-Set-Tech Grant, winning applicants had to submit a unit plan with no less than (4) lessons, integrate the Internet and other forms of technology into the core content, apply their lessons to local, state, and national learning standards, include assessment strategies, and provide examples of student work.

Twenty grants were awarded last school year to teachers across a wide range of subject areas and grade levels. You can view these winning projects by clicking on the teachers' names listed below. Visit our TeachNet home page for more examples of exemplary web-based curriculum created by teachers, for teachers.
