Tapping into Technology in Rural Communities.
Corley, Troy Kathleen
Educational Leadership, v55 n8 p71-73 May 1998
Christopher, Illinois, a rural, economically depressed community of 2,800, is reaping the benefits from two innovative, community-based technology programs. The Christopher High School District established its award-winning technology program in 1995. The Christopher Elementary School District implemented a similar plan in 1996. Both initiatives are succeeding, thanks to strong community support and adult education components. (MLH)
