We are looking high and low for the best educational
web sites active today. The School House presents the Too Cool
School House Educational Site of the Week as carefully selected by
our resident educator, Grace Smith. Check it out, and happy
learning!

TrackStar is an on-line interface that helps teachers organize and annotate on-line sites
and file them in the TrackStar database. An index and the resource sites remain visible throughout
each lesson, allowing students to use the lesson and "stay on track".
Instructors can search for tracks by keyword, subject and grade, or themes and standards.
They can also make a track, build a Web page, and make a quiz for their tracks.
The featured tracks for March and April are: St. Patrick's Day, Music in Schools Month, Women's History
Month, Alcohol Awareness Month, National Home Safety Week, and Astronomy Day. Additional tracks
for each day in March and April round out the site.
Rating: A terrific starting point for online, interactive lessons.
