MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH TECHNOLOGY

The California Department of Education has incorporated a national educational reform initiative, Environmental and Spatial Technology (EAST) which integrates high-end technology and community service projects to promote student achievement. Through participation and presentation of technology-infused community-based service-learning projects, students master academic content standards through motivating, real-world, experiences. Preliminary results from this reform effort, currently in 48 sites throughout the state, have been very positive. Attendance is up, discipline reports are down, students are actively engaged in learning, and the school and local community environments have been positively impacted.
