Mark, could we get this posted to Tic Tech?
I think we want to get this out to schools. I believe that the High
Point
project on Jacob Lawrence might have been a good candidate for this
award.

---------------------------------
ThinkQuest Junior
ThinkQuest Junior is a classroom-based competition that encourages girls
and
boys in grades 4-6 to take a meaningful interest in computers and
technology. ThinkQuest Junior helps teachers promote the "Internet
Style" of
learning - an interactive, participatory method that encourages students
to
take advantage of the Internet as a constantly growing source of
information
and as a powerful collaborative tool.
Making learning fun and contagious for other students of the same age,
ThinkQuest Junior teams create educational Web sites on a variety of
subjects. More than $250,000 in cash, and awards are given to winning
students, teachers and their schools.
