The Center for Research on the Internet and Schools (CRIS) was created in 2005 as a focus for collaborative research at Eastern Michigan University on schools and technology. Current projects include studies of digital libraries and K-12 education, technology integration in teacher preparation, technology in the math and science curriculum, and policy studies on the school technologies.
What's Happening at CRIS
Lesson Study eNetwork Teachers from across the state participated in a Conference on Lesson Study in math education. The conference was held June 24-25 at the Wayne County RESA. Conference resources and links provide more information. As a result, we have started the Michigan Lesson Study eNetwork to continue the work started at the conference and provide a forum for sharing, expertise, and resources. Join us! On June 23 and June 24, 2006, we held a new Lesson Study Conference for those already familiar with lesson study.
