Patterns of Promise

In 1999 AEL sponsored a regional competition to identify effective practices in instructional technology. Twelve schools were selected from numerous applicants across the southeast region, and the top three were recognized at the National School Boards Association Technology + Learning Conference in Dallas. This monograph describes these programs as well as lessons learned and possibilities for replication. It identifies common elements and emerging patterns, providing insight into the conditions necessary for integrating classroom technology effectively.
