Check out the news from the Texas Education Agency and the New York Times and a new resource for Texas educators that cost $1 million (per a local news broadcast this morning):

“Project Share is a cutting edge initiative that will allow teachers to share classroom practices that work well with teachers all over Texas and the country in a new and exciting way. It will allow students to do in-depth research in a real time fashion that connects them with experts. It will also allow the state and its partners to deliver training to educators in an interactive and timely manner,” said Robert Scott, commissioner of education.

The Epsilen Environment offers opportunities to enhance the eLearning environment through its comprehensive suite of tools for teaching, interacting, collaborating and assessment. Project Share will also provide more than 150 years of articles, videos, and interactive features from The New York Times Knowledge Network Content Repository (NYTKN Repository), which houses NYT and other digital content and resources dating back to 1851. The Epsilen Environment and NYTKN Repository allow teachers to use existing content and specifically align it with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills.

Project Share will provide access to an interesting repository of resources. The question is, will they be used anymore than Gale Resources and ProQuest in the past?
