The NCES site holds a great deal of information. Higher Ed. instructors,
teachers, and student teachers can all find useful statistical information here.
Higher Ed. instructors can make use of this site with their student teachers
by having them explore the links, especially the one called Students'
Classrooms. Within this site are games and activities that can be used in a
range K-12 lessons. Many deal with collecting data and analyzing it, but the
Multimedia Playhouse link ties art and math together.
