Amanda Lange : Websites Providing Test Data from National, State, and Local Educational Resources
Websites Providing Test Data from National, State, and Local Educational Resources
This website originates from the Harvard college library and has a large variety of different websites all relating to providing test data from national, state, and local education resources. What is useful about this website is that it contains data for the United States as well as International resources and with each source given, there is a few sentences of detail of what the sources will be about. These website sources range from “providing data relating to faculty salaries, enrollment, student activities, etc” to search engines in which data can be searched for alphabetically (“FedStats”). This website is overall a great and very helpful resource that includes a variety of different resources pertaining specifically to topics relating to providing test data from national state and local education.

Emma Heinlen: Two Websites Providing Tutorials for Using Word, PowerPoint and Excel in K-12 Classrooms.

This is a specific section of the Microsoft Office tutorials focusing on powerpoints. Although it may not be specific for k-12 classrooms, the tutorials themselves are very useful. There is also a template specifically for ‘Teachers Curriculum Night’ so it is apparent that they are concerned about the teachers’ ability to properly include technology in the classroom.
http://www.teacherclick.com/excel2003/index.htm
This is an Excel tutorial that includes screen caps of each step needed. It is designed for use for teachers and seems very helpful and in depth. There are also different tutorials on the website, although I only looked at the excel one. I would recommend this to a teacher who needs to understand the basics, or even the complicated parts of Excel.
