High Tech Teaching
From Access to Application (A2A) is
a project in which classroom teachers for grades 4-6 in Pilot
sites across Minnesota develop skills using the Internet as
a teaching tool for science and math. The three year project
was initiated by Sci/Math MN and is supported by a federal grant.
CAREI helps train teachers to use Action Research to examine
their own professional growth in using the Internet and also
helps to evaluate the project.
The findings thus far point to two
critical needs:
teachers must have on-line access both
at school and at home in order to accommodate the natural flow
of a teacher's work and planning time.
on-going training for teachers should
be available as they are ready to learn additional skills.
The three articles below are written
by teachers involved in A2A. They capture their enthusiasm
and deep commitment for the project.
