Hello, I have the opportunity to spend some unexpected money
in my library.  The only requirement is that it "enhance the
curriculum technologically".  There will be internet
capability in most classrooms as soon as the wiring is
complete.  I intend to spend some on computer books and
possibly on some updated astronomy information, in book or
CDdroms.   We do major units on electricity, solar system,
oceans, wetlands, and New Jersey. I have been searching
catalogs and educational sites, and the archives, but since
this is such a diverse audience I am asking for help so I
can cover more ground quickly and not overlook any gems.
Someone has suggested Classroom Connect and I am looking
into it.
Question 1.  Do you use Classroom Connect and is it helpful?

Question 2.  Is there something on computers and technology
similar to scholastic news for
                   kids?
Question 3. Do you have any favorites I should know about?
I have 10 days to submit so please answer and hurry :-)
Tia,sue
