The Early Childhood Technology Literacy Project is an instructional project in Montgomery County Public Schools funded by the Technology Literacy Challenge Fund. It has won many awards including the 2000 Computerworld Smithsonian Award in the Education and Academia category and has been recognized as a best practice by the Maryland Business Roundtable. The instructional focus of this project is to integrate technology into instruction and increase early childhood students' skills in reading and writing. This supports Montgomery County's Reading Initiative kindergarten through third grade. This project was designed to help school teams, including classroom teachers, specialists, and instructional assistants work cooperatively to develop, plan and deliver exemplary reading and writing instruction using instructional technology. The Early Childhood Technology Literacy Project was founded by Bonny Chambers and Dara Feldman. It is now maintained by Leticia Barr and Jimmy Sweeney.

About Our Site

This site was designed as a resource for parents and teachers to share the
information we have gathered and developed during our project. We hope it
will be a valuable resource to all early childhood teachers and parents, not
only those involved in our training. Please email us (email info can be found at the bottom of the screen) with any comments or feedback.
