Integrating science, mathematics, and technology in middle school technology-rich environments: A study of implementation and change

School Science and Mathematics, Jan 2000 by James, Robert K, Lamb, Charles E, Bailey, Melynda A, Householder, Daniel L

The outcomes of GTECH merit dissemination. It should be noted that GTECH is likely to be a multistep, long-term project. After initial funding expires, the GTE Foundation will be approached for a continuation of funding in order to refine and complete the model. State and federal finds will be sought to disseminate the results of GTECH more broadly across the state and nation.
