Project I-57
Teleapprenticeship
History & Purpose
• Project I-57 links five very different Illinois
K-12 schools north to south along Interstate
57, giving these students and teachers a
chance to conduct authentic research on
their own communities, to interact via the
Internet with counterparts at other Illinois
schools, and to gain experience with the
diversity within their own state. Skills to be
developed and integrated into their courses
include social studies, reading, and math.
History & Purpose (cont.)
• Project I-57 students to utilize U of I
students as a technological resource to find
community information and use us to help
them efficiently formulate questions to find
information on the web.
• Teleapprenticeship or learning while doing
in a remote authentic setting.
History & Purpose (cont.)
• Strengths of teleapprenticeship: schools get
all new technology and both students and
teachers learn how to use the technology.
• Weaknesses of teleapprenticehip: grade
levels are not matched and too many people
are involved.
History & Purpose (cont.)
• The Illinois State Board of Education got
money from the Federal government to fund
“Technology Literacy Challenge Grants.”
They put out a Request for Proposals (RFP),
which allowed statewide proposals. The
Benton and Maine Township administrators
came up with the idea for Project I-57.
They asked Fisher, U of I, and the Chicago
Historical Museum to join.
