Abstract
This paper describes the use of a BOCES mini grant to fund a Summer Institute in Educational Technology at Iona College. The purpose of the grant was to encourage teacher education institutions to enhance the development and adoption of higher standards in K-12 education. The Institute used the WebQuest as a vehicle to identify and integrate New York State standards and assessments into the curriculum. Student evaluations of the Institute show a positive impact.
