The TLC is a consortium of educational institutions, private businesses, and government agencies that has developed a multi-faceted program to modernize and improve the educational process in the Waukegan Public Schools in Illinois. The TLC consortium is implementing a community-wide math and science education program based on innovative uses of new technologies and project-based learning activities. The consortium is establishing model classrooms to be duplicated throughout the Waukegan schools. Each classroom contains a teacher workstation with multimedia capability; an overhead TV monitor; five student workstations with multimedia capabilities; a laptop; a printer; a compact video camera; a color scanner; a digital camera; and an Internet connection. To reach beyond the traditional classroom walls, technology and Learning Community Centers were established at four easily accessible locations around the community. These centers provide students, parents, and other adults access to a wide range of educational technologies and information.
