PrimaryAccess is being developed as an initiative
within the Center for Technology & Teacher
Education in the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia.
Center faculty members and graduate fellows identify and explore innovative
digital technologies.
PrimaryAccess is a member of a family of web based
tools that also includes DigitalStoryteller (designed for language arts).
Both projects are intended to serve as catalysts in use of effective
technology-based tools in the K-12 classroom. Our partners in these endeavors
include public schools, local public television stations, the Virginia
Center for Digital History, StageTools, and other non-profit and commercial
organizations.
