Untitled. Untitled. Education Resources. Educational software is available for every subject area. There are hundreds of different software packages around. We have located the best resources in the educational software arena—from professional software developer networking groups to producers of innovative, cutting-edge software for math and sciences. These websites contain valuable resources for everyone, as well as carefully selected lists of further resources. While hands-on experience is best, it is not always possible in some situations. A great software package can make the difference between the opportunity to learn and understand, and the problem of remaining uneducated about a subject.

In an effort to foster hands-on, inquiry-based learning in science and math, the NASA Glenn Research Center has developed a series of interactive computer programs for students.

All of the programs are Java applets which run in your browser, on-line, over the World Wide Web. The programs can also be downloaded to your computer so that you can use them without being on-line. The programs are in the public domain and are constantly being modified and upgraded based on your input. We have also developed a series of Beginner's Guides that accompany each of the software packages to explain the science and math.

You can access the Beginner's Guides at the bottom of this page. Click on the icon below for more information about the major programs. Navigation..

I love to teach it, I love to do it, I love to read about it. Creative writing often gets shoved aside, playing second fiddle to report and essay writing. I hear parents lament often that "My kid hates to write! " But the vast majority of kids do, in fact, like to write. They just may not know it because they have only known the world of report writing. My hope is that all kids will have a chance to write creatively—to learn to love words and language.

In teaching creative writing classes at our homeschooling co-op and, of course, with my own three kids, I have pinned and bookmarked dozens of resources for teaching creative writing at home or in a classroom.
