When I hear the brand Crayola I think of crayons. Don't you? Well, Crayola is a whole lot more than just crayons and for all ages. Go to Crayola for Educators and you will see lesson plans, resources and grant opportunities. Since STEM or STEAM has moved into classrooms throughout United States, companies are trying to get ahead of others to have their materials be implemented in this new learning modality. Some examples of lesson plans : A Proportional World: Explore proportion and Geometry! Create a vibrant watercolor of your bedroom. This lesson teaches fractions, ratios, measurement, shapes, geometry, colors, lines, speaking and listening.

Another lesson : Ancient Rome: the Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most fascinating structures in Italy. It took hundreds of years to construct. Find out why it tilts.

All lesson plans are there for the teacher to access for free. Check it out! To go with this new instructional technology resource check out the right side of this blog for the February Tech Item contest.
