School Reform at lunch

Glen Cove School District in New York won the 2009 Sylvia Charp award with reforming a once struggling district with the addition of technology. In three years technology turned this district around with new administration, interactive whiteboards, computer response pads (clickers), document cameras, probes, digital security cameras, student-management system, and parent portal. First year teachers also receive training in these technologies along with a 'new-teacher program' that is mandatory for the first three years of employment. There is also a community emergency system and they live stream district events over their website. This is the article from Learning and Leading With Technology February 2010 from ISTE website. Link
