The 2000 "High Schools That Work" (HSTW) Assessment showed a definite payoff among career-oriented students who used technology. In their 2000 annual reports to the Southern Regional Education Board, many HSTW sites listed technology-related accomplishments: getting students to use the Internet to gather information; teaching students to use computers, printers, scanners and digital cameras in completing challenging projects; and earning awards for student accomplishments in technology use. National studies have revealed that students who have access to computer-assisted instruction and other technology-related experiences show achievements gains on various tests. This Outstanding Practices publication contains 21 examples of how educators are using technology to improve instruction and raise student achievement in academic and career/technical courses. These are just some of the exemplary practices from the more than 1,100 HSTW sites in 26 states. The reports from schools are divided into three sections: "Academic Courses,""Career/Technical Programs," and "Integrated Academic and Career/Technical Studies." (AEF)
