This absolutely beautiful, 100 ft. tall monument was gifted to the people of the United States by the people of Russia in 2006, in memory of all those who lost their lives on that fateful day, September 11, 2001. The breaking in the cracked facade forms the shape of the two towers. The giant suspended teardrop signifies the tears of the entire world that day.   Topics: [Instructional Tech Tips](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/instructional-tech-tips) **If you are in need of assistance with STEM and/or Instructional Technology reach out to:** ** ecses-it@iu13.org**[👍 ](mailto:Lori_blantz@iu13.rg) We are hear to help!  ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic - [Announcements (13)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/announcements) - [Assistive Technology (2)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/assistive-technology) - [BrainPop (17)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/brainpop) - [BreakoutEDU (9)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/breakoutedu) - [Chromebooks (2)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/chromebooks) - [Competitions (25)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/competitions) - [Computer Science (17)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/computer-science) - [Contest (84)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/contest) - [Discovery Education (17)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/discovery-education) - [Earth day (4)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/earth-day) - [Educators (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/educators) - [Google (12)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/google) - [IEPWriter (2)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/iepwriter) - [IMS Services (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/ims-services) - [Instructional Tech Tips (36)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/instructional-tech-tips) - [Instructional Tech Tools (160)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/instructional-tech-tools) - [May the 4th (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/may-the-4th) - [Microsoft Teams (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/microsoft-teams) - [minecraft (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/minecraft) - [MLK (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/mlk) - [movie (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/movie) - [mystery science (2)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/mystery-science) - [NASA (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/nasa) - [NearPod (3)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/nearpod) - [newsela (4)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/newsela) - [olympics (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/olympics) - [opening day (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/opening-day) - [OSMO (2)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/osmo) - [OverDrive (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/overdrive) - [ozobots (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/ozobots) - [PBS Learning (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/pbs-learning) - [PDE (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/pde) - [PDF (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/pdf) - [pear deck (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/pear-deck) - [prize (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/prize) - [Resources (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/resources) - [reward (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/reward) - [Robotics (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/robotics) - [SAS website (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/sas-website) - [science (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/science) - [slidesmania (2)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/slidesmania) - [social media (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/social-media) - [Social Skills (2)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/social-skills) - [SORA (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/sora) - [special education (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/special-education) - [sphero (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/sphero) - [spheros (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/spheros) - [spring (2)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/spring) - [St. Patrick's Day (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/st-patricks-day) - [StarWars (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/starwars) - [STEM (41)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/stem) - [stem challenge (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/stem-challenge) - [STEM Day (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/stem-day) - [STEM LESSON (91)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/stem-lesson) - [Storyvoice (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/storyvoice) - [streaming (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/streaming) - [summer sessions (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/summer-sessions) - [summer training (5)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/summer-training) - [Technology (2)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/technology) - [Ukraine (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/ukraine) - [Valentine's Day (6)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/valentines-day) - [VOOKS (1)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/vooks) - [Websites (4)](https://info.iu13.org/ecses-tech/topic/websites) - [Welcome!
