The mission of this project is to provide superior educational opportunities which meet diverse individual needs and produce lifelong learners in an ever changing global society. This project will involve funds from the model technology grant, the Gilmer County School System, the Oakland Elementary School, State of Georgia allocations, partnership agencies and private agencies. These funds will be used to purchase leading edge technology tools and to provide training for teachers and other staff to implement the instructional strategies and delivery models that will benefit regular and special education students. This process will move beyond the classroom, school and community to a global contact perspective through distance learning programs and other information retrieval and sharing. The students served by this project come from a diverse rural, mountain culture not normally benefiting from leading edge technology.
