Utah Education Network for Utah Teachers and Students

The State of Utah provides a great deal of resources to it's teachers and students over the internet. Most of these resources can be found of the UEN (Utah Education Network) website. UEN is funded and administered through the Utah State Office of Education.

Some of these resources include:
  • Free or low cost in service and training for learning Dreamweaver, Flash, Blogging, Microsoft Office, and more.
  • Utah teachers can develop their own web page with links, homeworks lists, and general information.
  • Free .pdf Conversion
  • a list of Multimedia resources for teachers
  • Interactive Learning games
  • EMedia a collection of educational videos ready to stream via the internet.
  • The Pioneer Library. World Book Encyclopedia, SIRS, Culture Grams, Utah Newspaper archives, State Archives, Visual Thesaurus and much more.
Many of these resources in the Pioneer Library are available commercially and would cost hundreds a month to have access to them. You have automatic access to the pioneer library when you log in through any state Library or School. On the site they have a password so you can log on from home.

Check your State Education for Resources!

This Blog has a Worldwide audience, and I have hesitated to discuss a resource that is helpful to Utah only Teacher's when only a small percentage of my audience comes from Utah. Utah; however provides great resources for it's teachers through it's UEN (Utah Education Network) website. As I thought about this I decided to call upon the help of other teachers from many states so that we can create list of resources by state. As I receive information I will post it on this blog and hopefully we will be able to create a valuable resource that would have a list of resources for any state Providence or country. If you have some Knowledge of your states internet resources please send me an email at mike@expeditionproductions.com

My next post will provide a List of what Utah provides on it's network.
