Best Schools

Technology isn't simply a tool. It is the basis for a whole new way of working, teaching and learning. It provides young minds with the limitless opportunity to explore and discover. But first we must look beyond technology as a time saving tool and see the unique possibilities for education.

Thirty teachers completed the first phase of technology training, and in January, 2002, 30 more teachers enrolled. The third group of 23 started in January, 2003. Teachers are trained at Xavier University and receive their choice of a desktop or laptop computer. In addition, they earn two graduate credits, a stipend and become part of a learning comunity of their peers. Major funding has come from The Greater Cincinnati Foundation, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professional Development Progam and many individuals, businesses and foundations.
