About the Creators
Afterschool Curriculum Choice: Technology Resources is a project of the
YouthLearn
Initiative at Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC)
and the National Partnership for Quality Afterschool Learning at SEDL. YouthLearn
offers comprehensive services and resources for creating exciting learning environments,
with an emphasis on experiential learning and technology integration.
About the Resource Database
This collection of resources is designed to help practitioners locate and make informed
choices about high-quality technology resources to enrich their programs. We chose these
curricular materials because they represent the wide variety of resources, from activity
guides to online games to software packages, that can support compelling learning
experiences in informal settings.
In addition to reflecting the promising practices described in the Technology
Afterschool Training Toolkit, they correlate to the skills and expertise identified
in the National
Educational Technology Standards for Students. These standards were
developed and recently updated by the International Society for Technology in
Education (ISTE). Many of the resources address academic content standards as well.
