Welcome
Using Technology to Enhance Balanced Literacy ~ Presentation
The Early Childhood Technology Literacy Project is an instructional project in Montgomery County Public Schools funded by the Technology Literacy Challenge Fund. It won 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.
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 with any comments or feedback.
