The Lightspan Partnership has developed Lightspan.com, a free K-12 education portal that offers proprietary resources, curriculum-based content, and educator-reviewed search results. The portal helps teachers find high-quality educational content, tools and projects for the classroom. Teachers can easily link to grade-appropriate lesson plans and learning activities. Lightspan’s Learning Search tool provides direct access to more than 115,000 educator-reviewed sites, articles and lesson plans, each with a comprehensive description to help teachers determine its classroom usefulness. A site-building feature allows teachers to customize Web pages for their classrooms and to combine educational resources from Lightspan with their own content and materials.
