*as defined on page 18 of the Educational Testing Service’s 2003 report, Succeeding in the 21st Century: What Higher Education Must Do to Address the Gap in Information and Communication Technology Proficiencies (available online).

The Perry County Alabama Schools website is an excellent example of the application of technology to improve the ICT Literacy of all members of a school community and to ensure that there is indeed No Child Left Behind.

The elementary school portal, Jackson-Via Jump! includes classroom Journals, ePortfolios, and WebQuests - allowing K-4 students to participate in weaving the web!

For our projects we have partnered with ChampSolutions for the use of CommToolz, an innovative suite of communication tools that makes everthing possible.
