Summary EWYL Fellows are highly trained technology using teachers who are embarking on the "next step" of integrating technology into their curriculum. This step involves doing collaborative, multi-classroom multi-media projects that are standards-based, have a clear, real-world connection, have multiple formative and summative assessment strategies, use a new or emerging hand-held technology tool, and foster higher-order thinking skills. Rationale Today's students will live and work in a global economy. They will need the skills set forth by the 1991 SCANS Report, and will need to use technology as a collaborative tool in the global world of work. Consequently, we must give them the knowledge, understanding and skills to live and work with people of all ages and backgrounds.
