This program is designed to assist teachers in developing and implementing curriculum-based technology lessons for middle school students. The lessons can be based on Lesson Accelerators from Atomic Learning. [] Testing for students will occur through Learning.com with content aligned to the following ISTE NETS standards: Creativity and Innovation Communication and Collaboration Research and Information Fluency Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making Digital Citizenship Technology Operations and Concepts
 * WHAT?**

A portion of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act known as ‘Enhancing Education Through Technology Act of 2001’ (E2T2) has the following goal: To assist every student in crossing the digital divide by ensuring that every student finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the student’s race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location, or disability.
 * WHY?**

Middle School subject area teachers are invited to participate in the program. Priority will be given to 7th grade teachers because 7th grade students will be assessed. Up to four teachers from each middle school may participate but 7th grade teachers should get first priority. Representation from a variety of subject areas is preferred but not required.
 * WHO?**

Teachers will attend two training sessions of two hours each in length to develop technology lessons that include assessment criteria and that are correlated to the curriculum they will be presenting to their students in the upcoming months. Teachers must commit to working with their CTT to implement a minimum of two lessons with their students prior to the assessment in late spring. Teachers will be required to submit the lesson plan and a student project sample for each lesson. Teachers who participated last year in the program and are participating again, must develop two new lessons. All teachers must also complete a reflection form after testing. Teachers who fulfill all requirements may choose an LCD projector or an interactive white board tablet for their classrooms. ** Projects ** Projects from the program are posted by subject area. Each project has a scenario and any related files.
