Envision a classroom without walls .... without  boundaries.

Project VIEW, a Federal Technology Innovation Challenge Grant is led by the Schenectady City School District.  This innovative program is designed to open the classroom door so that  students and teachers can engage in an array of boundless learning opportunities. VIEW is designed to  deliver a world-class education to students by utilizing interactive education technology which  accesses content-rich resources, activities and the exchange of ideas.

VIEW develops relationships with extraordinary content-providers including museums, zoos,   libraries and more.  Working together,  VIEW partners teachers, and content providers in order to collaborate and develop exciting curriculum and content that is enhanced and supported by these  exciting cultural institutions.  Through the use of videoconferencing and other digital communications, VIEW  links with school districts across the state, teachers and informal education providers to bring comprehensive interactive curriculum and lessons into the classroom.

Project VIEW first connects teachers with content-providers.  VIEW  trains those teachers to develop content rich, standards-based curriculum integrating the extraordinary resources of the content provider.   Participating teachers are trained  to use videoconferencing equipment.  They are also trained and provided with  support enabling them to integrate museum content into the curriculum.

6.  project VIEW is designed to create new learning communities among teachers, students, parents, and others which contribute to State or local education goals for school improvement and expand markets for high quality educational technology or content.
