Each week during the school year, the editors at MainFunction choose a computer or Internet-related topic from the news and develop discussion questions and activities, list related links, and post student and teacher opinions on the topic.

This curriculum resource web site will be updated every Friday morning so it can be incorporated into your weekly lesson plans.
