Dr. Robert Marzano kicks off a 3-year development project with ESDs
Sheryl Forsman, a teacher at Kelso School District's Beacon Hill Elementary School, is the recipient of a 2009 Qwest Foundation Teaching and Technology Grant for integrating technology in her lessons. Sheryl will receive $10,000 to purchase new hardware and software for her classroom to further her students' learning.
Sheryl designed a learning project that will open up new channels of creativity and knowledge-building among her first-graders. They work individually, and collaboratively, as bloggers and videographers to create digital journals that chronicle what they learn about other countries. In the process, her students will learn about geography and improve their reading, writing, communication and technology skills.
