As part of the North Carolina 1990 Heritage Week Celebration, all North Carolina schools were invited to participate in a unique project known as "Tales and Technology." For this project, students were invited to gather folk tales about traditions, family stories, names of places, or tales that had been passed from one person to another, and then to submit the tales to the Department of Public Instruction through telecommunications or as text files on a computer diskette. The project is presented as an example of integrated learning where the students involved combined the arts, history, writing projects, and technology using computers to produce their work. The collection includes horror stories, tall tales, legends, personal experiences, and stories about place names. (NL)
