ON CAMERA:
KAREN PETERSON
PEAKVIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AURORA, COLORADO
Featured on Teacher TV, an ward-winning weekly series
that focuses on real-life solutions to the challenges
facing students and staff in America's schools.
In August of 1990, Karen Peterson was hired by the
principal of Peakview Elementary School in Aurora,
Colorado to join a dozen other educators in planning a
"restructured" elementary school. Her job? To move
Peakview's classrooms into the twenty-first century by
incorporating televisions, VCRs, computers and all
their assorted software into a user-friendly
environment. In INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY: MORE THAN AN
ELECTRONIC BLACKBOARD, airing March 27 on Teacher TV,
Peterson takes viewers on a tour through her school, an
example of the ingenious integration of technology into
the day to day life of students. Here is what Person has to
say about the benefits of this kind of restructuring.
"What we've really done is given children the ability to
be more independent learners. The technology that
drives computer programs and interactive disks has
multiplied the number of teachers in the classroom."
"Instead of just one source of information -- the teacher
-- now there are many, scattered about the room. For the
children, the technology simply becomes another tool
for learning, another way of accessing what they need to
know."
