Middle School Campus Immersion
The primary intent of the technology immersion project (TIP) is to pioneer technology immersion in schools of various types (demography, location, wealth). A large part of the project is focusing on grade 6-8 middle schools. Technology immersion has been brought to 22 middle schools throughout Texas that are serving these grades. This subset of participating schools is large and diverse enough to simultaneously serve as the cornerstone for a US Department of Education-funded evaluation project that is assessing the variety of effects of technology immersion. This parallel project is called the Evaluation of the Texas Technology Immersion Project, or eTxTIP. The various middle schools participating in both the TIP and eTxTIP projects are:
