Mill Creek Elementary School

The ADD-IT project seeks to prepare teachers to use advanced technology, including handheld computers or PDAs for student assessment. To achieve this goal, we are working with two groups of teachers: in-service teachers at Mill Creek Elementary School in the Independence, MO and Hallsville Elementary School in Hallsville, MO.

Mill Creek Elementary teachers received Zire 72 handhelds that feature a digital camera, audio recording, and Docs-to-Go program. With this handheld, a teacher can assess student learning in many ways. For example, she might take a picture of a student's work, voice-record a student's reading performance or discussion, and develop checklists and other teacher-created assessments. Teachers are also using the handhelds to create electronic portfolios for students through the Foliotek system developed by Lanit.
