Please find below a media advisory put out by AOL regarding their
Interactive Education Initiative for the Year 2000:

Wanted: Education Innovators

Seeking creative, innovative and motivated teachers, administrators,
community leaders and parents who want to use the Internet to improve
student achievement.

Date:  October 1, 1999 - January 17, 2000

Interactive Education Initiative (IEI) Grants provide teams of educators

and others seed money to develop and implement unique, hands-on projects

that improve student performance through the integration of innovative
technology into the learning environment.

Project teams can apply for grants of up to $7,500 to support highly
creative ideas for using the Internet to improve student learning.  In
addition to K-12 teachers and administrators, teams can include parents
and community leaders.  Review criteria places special emphasis on
proposals that have the potential to positively impact student learning,

reach traditionally underserved children and communities, and involve
innovation in using the online medium to create effective educational
models.  In addition to cash grants, grant recipients will be eligible
to receive in-kind assistance and online support.

The application are available by calling (703) 265-1342 or can be
downloaded and submitted via the Web at www.aolfoundation.org

Through the IEI Grant program, the AOL Foundation strives to maximize
the benefits of interactive technology in K-12 learning environments,
identify best practices for using technology to enhance student
learning, and create an expanding network of educators and others
dedicated to effective uses of technology.
