Two very good resources are Technological Horizons in Education's (http://www.thejournal.com) Roadmap to the Internet and Education Index (http://www.educationindex.com/education_resources.html).   If you prefer, you may use any other index you are familiar with. This module will cover the basic screens and tools of Technological Horizons in Education and Education Index.
