Whether they need Chinese language flash cards, steps and music to a Scottish country dance, physics simulations, or any one of hundreds of other teaching tools, educators and researchers can find them at Apple's Educational Object Economy (EOE) project (http://trp.research.apple.com).

The EOE is a complementary online community based around the creation, sharing, and use of teaching resources that incorporate Java applets for web-based learning. Java applets are small, easy-to-use programs written in Sun Microsystem's Java programming language. Using virtually any computer equipped with a standard web browser, educators can access hundreds of teaching and curriculum development tools for use in the classroom, for research, or in other educational endeavors.
