The "Paw Print" newsletter project for Hodgesville Elementary School will be developed as a collaborative technology project coordinated between the school's primary and intermediate students. According to Phillips, the upper-level students will create two bi-monthly newsletters, using available technology, to develop their word processing and publishing skills. One newsletter will be for older students and parents to read. The other one will be for the younger students. The students will benefit by practicing concepts being taught in their classroom and will be able to incorporate language arts and English concepts into a "real life" product to share with the community. It will also allow parents to "refresh" their memory of various language concepts. This will allow them to provide additional assistance when their children are completing assignments. The "Paw Print" will directly benefit 150 students and indirectly benefit their parents and the community. Phillips resides in Buckhannon.
