eSchool News has an interesting article up today about the State of Florida's endorsement of Freereading.net's K-1 reading intervention program. Freedreading.net includes reading materials and other resources all licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike license, meaning that they can be used for free by any interested school or individual. Of particular interest is their Intervention A reading intervention program for children K-1 programs.
It's great to see what looks like an excellent collection of resources being made available in the public domain. What's especially interesting is that the whole website seems to be built on MediaWiki, the same wiki package that powers wikipedia.

First Post
This blog is intended to be a forum to share useful Instructional Technology resources with other educators. I'll be updating it as I find new resources to share so I won't be posting on any regular schedule.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on these resources, so please don't be shy about commenting!
As a side note, I wanted to mention that one of the reasons I chose this theme for the blog is that it was designed by Jeffrey Zeldman, author of my favorite book about web design - Designing with Web Standards (http://www.zeldman.com/dwws/).
