It is said that we live in the Information Age. To me this means that we are inundated - TV, radio, movies, CDs, videos, books, magazines, the Web, newspapers, flyers, billboards, pagers, phones, schools, "junk" mail, etc. etc. etc. The question is, "Will we master this information, or be mastered by it?". Will we be washed helplessly to wherever the most recent flood takes us (all the while believing that it is really where we wanted to go in the first place); or will we learn to figure out on our own where we want to go, then use information we thoughtfully choose, evaluate and understand to help get us there?

This site is a work in progress for teachers looking for ways to help their students do the latter. Here you will find ideas and materials that will fire their imaginations, and help them develop the skills they'll need to take their places as thoughtful and productive citizens.
