Educational Resources

The iCenter is currently in the process of building a new and comprehensive web space - an "Educator's Backpack" - on educational resources that will serve as a guide to the wide variety of materials, projects, and ideas that exists in Israel education. We encourage educators, learners, and practitioners of any kind to contact us if you have anything that you believe should be included in this space.

Until the project is completed, please explore some of the resources that we have found, projects we have been fortunate enough to be a part of, and materials that are worthy of your attention.
