Interactive Technology into the Curriculum

Alton, N.H. - March 14, 2005 – Prospect Mountain High School announced today that Best Buy has awarded a $2,500 te@ch award to the school for integrating interactive technology into the curriculum. The funds will be used to enhance the Computer Technology Multimedia program. Funds will be used in support of next year's senior video production.

"We are most grateful to Best Buy for supporting our effort to provide excellent resources for our students in learning multimedia production and video editing," (Jean Kemp, PMHS teacher)

Best Buy started te@ch in October 2003, to reward schools that creatively integrate interactive technology into their curricula. All accredited, public and private nonprofit elementary, middle and secondary schools located within 25 miles of a Best Buy store were eligible to apply. Awards of $2,500 were given to nearly 1,200 schools to sustain or enhance existing educational programs.

“Today, teachers across the country are using technology in new and creative ways; we want to support and recognize their efforts to make learning fun and easy,” said Paula Prahl, VP of Public Affairs for Best Buy. “The te@ch program helps innovative educators enhance their curricula. By committing dollars to the communities in which we work and live, we can more fully support our employees, our customers, and their families.”
