The Diann Beseda's Second Grade, Whitson Elementary School story has been selected by the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory (NWREL) as an example of a site in the Northwestern United States using technology to support early childhood learning. This is one of many excellent programs in the Northwest noticed by NWREL.
Educators at some sites have integrated technology into their classrooms for several years, others for a much shorter time. The scope of the use varies. Though each has a unique approach, all share the common philosophy that technology, used appropriately, can enhance children's learning. Included for each site profile is contact information, observed outcomes from the thoughtful use of technology, and tips from these educators for incorporating technology in schools.
This story is an excerpt from The Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory's (NWREL) June 2001 issue of their "By Request" series. NWREL publishes By Request quarterly.
