Tools

Throughout the curriculum, there will be links to tools that assist in the learning and teaching process. This may be the STEMArts Survey for administrators, the Design Tool for students, the Museum Handout for the ISEA2012 exhibit, or the Teacher’s Lesson Plan. But how do you find it, when you need it later? We have compiled the tools for you in this directory for easy access. The two Wikis that were part of this project have also been migrated to this page.
