ETIP/NETtrain Project
Partnering with the Navajo Education Technology Consortium (NETC), the TEC’s Special Projects group has provided year-round professional development support to the Gallup-McKinley County and Central Consolidated (Shiprock) school districts. Parents, teachers and school administrators have participated in training sessions on the use of multimedia technology in creating standards-based learning activities. These activities designed to improve students’ knowledge of multimedia technologies as well as improve their test scores by using engaging, culturally relevant, standards-based lessons. The TEC and other multimedia studios developed these lessons into professional-quality, online activities as a part of the TECHShare Project. The ETIP/NETtrain project began in October 1998, and the ETIP portion of this project concluded in September 2004.

National Endowment for the Humanitites (NEH)
"Interpreting the American Image through the Photographs of John Collier, Jr.: A Virtual Experience" is a collection of dynamic multimedia materials designed to enhance teaching and learning in the humaniites. This project showcases interactive learning modules centered on Collier's WWII-era photographs of American families. At once technically sophisticated and highly personal, these historically significant images remain highly relevant today. Coupled with appropriate learning activiites, the Collier photographs have compelling educational merit, and we are creating materials that prompt reflection and critical thinking, with ties to state and national education standards. The NEH project began in June 2005 and will conclude in June 2007.
