Students' involvement make the Manitou Springs site unique. Our school's site is not the hobby of a faculty person. In addition to an award-winning site, Manitou Springs is also involved in other technological endeavors. They recently competed in the Global SchoolHouse CyberFair. The Internet contest's intent was for students to learn about their community and use the Web.
Stamp realizes the impact of the Internet in the classroom.
The Internet is the most exciting thing to happen in my teaching. When technology is integrated into the existing curriculum, the opportunity to make a difference in kids' lives presents itself. Cool School award winners at Manitou Springs Middle School will receive exclusive Cool School T-shirts and mouse pads, two commemorative plaques, Cool School award certificates, plus a Cool School award winner button for their Web site. They put a lot of time and work into creating these sites. We are honored to be able to recognize them for their hard work and achievements.
