Silicon Valley High is a new series that spotlights innovative applications
of educational technology in and out of the classroom. Produced by Silicon
Valley Instructional Television and the Santa Clara County Office of Education,
the series features success stories from real K-12 teachers who are integrating
technology across the curriculum and useful "tech tips" from
technology educators and industry experts. A companion website for the series
offers classroom-tested lesson plan ideas, hands-on activities, and other
valuable teacher resources.
Silicon Valley High presents the voices and opinions of teachers, parents,
students, and graduates now in the workplace, along with, inventors, scientists,
engineers, and other technology innovators. Explore how technology is changing
education by visiting schools where teachers and students use technology every
day to meet and exceed academic content standards. Meet industry partners who
are collaborating with K-12 educators to help students acquire basic computer
skills and develop connections between science and math instruction and the real
world of high-tech careers. Discover how technology is improving access to
education and careers for everyone, including the physically challenged.
The stories covered include reflect a wide range of K-12 content areas and

"nitty-gritty" of technology implementation at school sites and share
their solutions to typical problems. Technology applications discussed include
laptop carts and school-wide wireless networks, effective use of the Internet,
developing and using online courseware, television broadcasting from the
