Murray State University has created a website called TICK (Technology In Classrooms of Kentucky) to help teachers incorporate technology into their lessons. TICK provides over 3,500 searchable resources aligned with Kentucky standards, including lessons, activities, and units that address the state's student technology standards. Teachers can easily search resources by keyword, content area, grade level, or type, and can save favorites, add comments, and share resources through social media to collaborate with other educators. The goal is to help time-strapped teachers develop technology-rich lessons.
