Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development was contracted by the California Department of Education (CDE) to conduct a two-pronged study of telecommunications usage in education settings. One component consists of an overview of current research and practice on the policy, planning, implementation, and teacher staff development of telecommunications and technology in K-12 education, and is provided in a separate report.

The second component consists of a comprehensive evaluation of the project known as "Telemation," a statewide effort begun in 1993 to equip educators and administrators with the skills and knowledge necessary to successfully use telecommunications technology in support of teaching and learning.

This site contains research reports and other resources pertaining to the integration of telecommunications into education and the preparation of teachers to effectively utilize telecommunications and technology to enhance teaching and learning.
