The following exemplify the many schools across California where EETT is making a positive difference in teaching, learning, and closing the digital divide.
Bakersfield City Elementary, an inner-city district with high poverty, was part of the Round 2 (FY 2003-04) funding cycle for the EETT-C grant. This comprehensive program focused on the academic areas of mathematics and science for students in grade 7 at Emerson Middle and incorporated five different goals. These goals included creating and improving technology resources to support the instructional program, expanding connectivity, increasing the effective utilization of emerging technologies, improving technology proficiency skills for administrators, teachers, students and parents, and expanding community partnerships that promote student achievement.
