The Eruditio Project: USWest/NEA Arizona Teacher Network
Established through a grant from the USWest foundation, the Eruditio Project provides innovative and accessible programs and support services for educators throughout the State of Arizona, the Project enables educators to go beyond "surfing the net" to be users and providers of educationally relevant information. The project also promotes the opportunity to create dynamic and lasting partnerships by establishing effective and sustainable networks of preservice and inservice teachers, students, administrators, professional educator organizations and universities in Arizona. During this two-year project, Arizona educators use Internet resources to build, contribute to, and maintain a close, effective electronic community. Four-hundred and thirty educators will receive the necessary networking tools (i.e., computer, modem, access to the internet), online support throughout the project, and in person and online training in the integration of technology and telecommunications into an educational curriculum. These educators in turn are required to train at least ten other teachers and/or administrators in their district on the use and application of the Internet as an instructional tool, bringing the number of Arizona educators directly touched by the project to over 4500.
