Activities
- Learning Registry: The NSDL is a key partner in the national Learning Registry project to facilitate the exchange of resources, metadata about resources, and paradata about their use in learning environments. NSDL is contributing to this multi-agency federal project designed to make learning resources produced by federal funding more accessible.
- NSDL STEM Exchange: a web service to capture and share social media-generated information and other networked associations about educational resources (tagged, recommended, commented, discussed, clicked, viewed, downloaded, favorited, shared, etc.)
- Learning Application Readiness - an NSDL initiative that refers to how closely educational resources, collections, and their related metadata are aligned to educational goals, curriculum, or professional development needs of users, and how readily those can be embedded in tools and services that teachers and students use.
- Repositioning NSDL for the Next Generation of Digital Learning - NSDL's present work is building on and leveraging the successes and lessons of current and prior work (NSDL network partners collaborations;STEM Exchange; Learning Registry collaboration; Learning Application Readiness; Common Core Mathematics collection) to bring pilot level projects to scale and to integrate new capacities in NSDL's value to STEM education. These efforts contribute to NSDL's long-term sustainability through diffusion and adoption of resources into a wider range of instructional settings and teacher peer-to-peer networks, and by increasing resource utility to educator communities of practice.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
“When mundane, lowly activities are at stake, too much insight is detrimental—far-sightedness errs in immediate concerns.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
