The Rhode Island Technology Enhanced Science (RITES) Program
The five-year Rhode Island Technology Enhanced Science (RITES) project is a major initiative funded by a grant from the NSF to the University of Rhode Island to improve secondary science learning throughout Rhode Island through the use of highly interactive technologies. Concord Consortium is a partner in this project, providing technical, curriculum, and management support. The project began in October 2008 and runs through September 2013. By then, all RI secondary science teachers will have had a chance to participate in the project and will have access to its online curricula materials.
