A PLACE FOR NEWBIES
REASONS TO PLAY HERE
The Educational CyberPlayGround began in 1997 when I recognized the need and provided a place newbies to start. The focus was always professional development and still is. It was also a great place to house the custom curriculum delivered by the Internet, and a place for all of us to play in cyberspace. That's where I got the idea of a CyberPlayGround, no boundaries, no walls, where Adults can come to play. This is the place for Life Long Learners.

Cul De Sac Area of Online Curriculum
The Educational CyberPlayGround offers a interdisciplinary point of view, using the Internet to deliver online Curriculum. It is my pleasure to help meet the K-12 educational needs of students and teachers nationwide and to offer free information about the internet for the general public.
This site provides Teachers, Parents, Librarians, Home Schoolers and Regular Folks a cybrarians webliography of links to educational resources in the Arts, Music, Literacy, Linguistics, Science, Technology, Social Studies, and Interdisciplinary Educational Curriculum.
What are the Benefits of using Online Curriculum?
When using The Educational CyberPlayGround teachers can customize resources to incorporate any of the teaching materials already in their classrooms. We deliver online curriculum through the Internet, and so we are able to continually add new content and keep it current.
About The Education Vendor Directory
The ECP is a specialty portal that is focused on a specific topic - Education. Some analysts are convinced that the large, general portals' services are becoming indistinguishable from each other and soon will be ghost towns as people flock to specialty sites that cater to individual interests. A unique database just for the business of Education. We offer many valuable services that Internet travelers cannot get off-line -- better deals, greater convenience, greater ease of use, and you can list your service or product for free.
