Four rural teachers are honored for their work in technology in the classroom. In the process of developing their programs, these teachers worked with students to integrate technology into the curriculum; inspired other teachers to be more intrigued by technology; and included the community, inviting their input and ideas. Portfolios in narrative form are presented detailing each teacher's educational background, teaching philosophy, and program. Patrick Rusiecki developed a project-based curriculum for his industrial arts classes. Using a computer-aided drafting program, his students (with town professionals) planned, designed, and built construction projects for the town. After encountering obstacles with E-mail, Carol Miller and her second-grade Maine students created a project in which they exchanged information via video and fax with second-grade students in Hawaii. Frances Lacinak brought National Geographic's KidsNet into her school. By collaborating on science projects with other classrooms around the country, as well as with actual scientists, the students learned scientific concepts while having fun. Janet A. Brown discovered the America Online Scrapbook USA Writing Project that links elementary school students and teachers nationally in designing and implementing writing projects on-line. She used this network to develop book discussion, essay writing, and conferencing across schools. (TD)
