Educational Resources
The CCL is dedicated to the creative use of technology to deepen learning. Tools developed at the CCL have been used with a wide range of learners, ranging from young children to frontier level researchers in universities, businesses, and laboratories. Our technologies enable learners to make deep connections between what they are learning and their personal experience of the world.
The CCL offers support to teachers and organizations that use our tools and/or materials. We have frequently co-developed materials and curricula with teachers to fit their particular settings and we periodically offer workshops for teachers.
This page contains a collection of educational resources available from the CCL.
