Six New Courses Added to the InterACT Curriculum

It was just one year ago that The WaSP released its open curriculum project InterACT designed to help educators roll web standards and industry best practices into their courses. InterACT debuted at SxSWi 2009 with eleven courses created by a host of veteran educators and industry pros. Today, six more essential courses (that’s seventeen courses in total now if you’re counting) join our living curriculum to help schools prepare their students for a career working on the Web.
As is true of all InterACT courses, these six new courses contain competencies (the stuff students need to master in order to pass the class), assignments with grading rubrics, exam questions, recommended texts and readings, and technologies required to teach the course.
Though we’ve spent hundreds of hours developing these courses, we know the hardest work is still ahead. We need your help to get these courses into high schools, and colleges around the world. If you are an educator, use these courses (they are free and licensed under Creative Commons). If you are a student, tell your teachers about InterACT (gold star for you!). If you are an industry pro, connect with a local school to let them know about InterACT, or better yet, give a short presentation on web standards in the real world. Regardless of your connection to web education, you can help move the cause forward with a tweet, a blog post, or a conversation with a colleague.
These six courses are just a piece of what InterACT is working on. Stay tuned.

Download the free "Form to email" script from
This will give you a starting point.
Once you have received the data (on the server-side script), format it in some way, then send it to your url target (the way to do this depends of the way the external URL is going to receive and treat the message).

I've had experience with the Creative Curriculum.
I've seen a bit of the High/Scope curriculum that I like.
You can create your own, though it is quite a bit of work …less expensive though.
There are continuing ed classes that you can take on curriculum development. Personally, I've went to the Department of Education's website for my state and downloaded the Kindergarten expectations/curriculum and went from there.
Here's a website I came across …actually just a couple days ago
It's and Assessment Alignment for each of the states in relation to High Scope. I personally like the layout of the Illinois one. It seems so clear to me. Wish that MI's was just as clear. 
Good luck!

99% site which take input from user like registering new mail account, use client and server side scripting to validate data.

it's just t-tests between groups. but the computer should do it for you, as it will partial out the effects of the overall model, after it runs the signifance test (F) (they're called "post hoc"). in other words, you can't just go back and run t-tests, it should be an option when you ask it to run the factorial (should be with the homogeniety tests, effect sizes and interaction effects [or main effects] — i recommend running tukey's and dunnet's c, and report both). i'd offer more info if i knew what stats program you're using.
