A full immersion project will allow students and teachers at certain grade levels to carry wireless laptops and access online instructional materials 24/7. Teachers will be asked to learn how to use technology tools to learn how to:

• build interactivity into the classrooms

• record (audio & video) and upload lessons to a podcast server

• build online lessons in either Moodle or ClassServer

• utilize new software packages and high-tech tools (probes, GPS, etc) for simulation and project-based curriculum

• differentiate instruction based on online assessment tools

• reach proficient levels in technology skills using a cohort of peers from both districts in face-to-face training and online instruction.

The emphasis of the grant is to improve achievement in the 4 core areas along with technology skills. The major area of need in both school districts has been identified as reading improvement. The grant will emphasize real-world skills through project-based curriculum assisting teachers to differentiate instruction and integrate thematic project-based units across the curriculum.
