The Digital XPress is a project that will increase student achievement in English/Language Arts by enabling teachers to make effective instructional use of technology in the classroom. Specifically, teachers will learn to use digital cameras and digital image editing software to stimulate and support student writing in a wide variety of standards-based instructional activities. They will also use a teacher-controlled, online publishing environment to allow students to publish their written compositions for others to read and react to.
