Essential Questions Resources
What essential question or learning are you addressing? What would students care or want to know about the topic? What are some questions to get students thinking about the topic or generate interest about the topic? What questions can you ask students to help them focus on important aspects of the topic? What background or prior knowledge will you expect students to bring to this topic and build on? (Jamie McKenzie - Questioning.org)

What Are Essential Questions? Sample Essential Questions in the Content Areas Essential Questions Tips Essential and Unit Question Resources [|Resources for Lesson Plans] - from ISTE

Lesson Plan Templates
[|Lesson Plan Templates] These templates from ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) are for the purpose of developing model lessons and are intended for use by fairly experienced educators who have some experience with integrating technology into the curriculum. District Curriculum maps are a great place to start as essential questions/learnings in each subject area have been explored and mapped to each grade level.

Enhancing Curriculum with Technology
In collaboration with several content area organizations, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills developed a series of ICT Literacy Maps showing the intersection between Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Literacy and core academic subjects including English, mathematics, science and social studies (civics/government, geography, economics, history). The maps show concrete examples of how ICT Literacy can be integrated into core subjects to make the teaching and learning of those subjects more relevant for the21st century. .
