The CITEd website is designed to help teachers, administrators, technology coordinators, and professional development coordinators identify existing education technlogy resources (Learn), implement professional development programs to improve the implementation of technology in education (Act), and locate relevant research on educational practices using technology (Research).  The following pointers will help you take full advantage of the tools and features of this site.

Finding Resources

CITEd has reviewed hundreds of education technology resources from across the Web and organized them all on this site. The resources, from lesson plans and case studies to articles and guidebooks, are all organized according to common educator roles, job responsibilities, and topics of interest.  To begin reviewing the resources available through this site, visit the Learn Center and select your role.  Then select the job responsibility where you think technology could help or the topic of greatest interest to you.  Keep reading this page to see what else you can do with the resources you find. 

What you can do as a Registered User

Once you have signed up and logged in, you will be able to collect resources and create toolkits to email to colleagues.

Save Resources to the "My Resources" Area

Once logged in, you will see a folder icon with a "plus" sign on it in the footer of each resource. Clicking on this icon allows you to add a description to the resource and save it to the "My Resources" area. For screen readers, this option is titled "Add to My Resources."

View and Manage your Resource

Once you have added a resource to the "My Resource" area, the folder icon in the footer of that resource will change to a checkmark. For screen readers, this option is titled "Manage My Resources." Click the icon again to view or edit your resource description.

Create a Toolkit

The toolkit feature allows you to collect resources and email them as a kit to others. Once logged in, find the toolkit section in "My Center." After you have created your first toolkit, you will see a new icon in the footer of each resource. For screen readers, this option is titled "Add to Kit." When you click on the icon, you will have the option to select the kit to which you would like to add the resource. To send a kit to a colleague, visit the kit you would like to send, fill in the fields in the "Send This Kit" section, and click the send button.
