The Web Project

Project Homepage:http://www.webproject.org

The Web Project, subtitled Creating a WEB of Evidence of Student Performance in Nonverbal Inquiry and Expression, is a consortium of state agencies, private industries, and educational institutions that are utilizing new technologies to enact systematic reform in school systems throughout Vermont. The project, established by the Montpelier School District, utilizes multimedia telecommunication as an educational environment for student inquiry and expression, as a medium for presenting and evaluating student work, and as a virtual faculty to foster professional discussions about standards of excellence in education. The focus of the WEB project is the arts, humanities, and the social sciences. In three pilot Vermont school districts, the WEB Project is demonstrating the connections between educational standards, curriculum, instruction and assessment. Each school district is provided five "computer suites" for use in central locations within schools. Students use these high performance computers to digitize text, graphics, and full motion video files for use by other students in a variety of learning activities.
