At Bryan Elementary we visited Diana Underwoood's 6th grade class. Students were continuing to work on their
English/spelling/reading project entitled "Heroes: Past Present and Future". Past heroes included WJ Bryan, Davy Crockett, and Brook Berringer. Present heroes were figures like Neil Armstrong and Mary Tyler Moore. Future heroes were mothers and teachers.

This classroom contained one computer from Community Discovered (CD), one which every teacher has on their desk, and two that are checked out from the media center (one which was out of commission). Ms. Underwood utilized a UNK undergrad education major completing her field experience and hoped to check out a number of E-mates in the future in order to free up the connected computers for Internet research.

At Bryan we also visited Deb Harkless' 6th grade class, whose students were quite familiar with the National Museum of American Art, much to the delight of Woody
Dowling, one of the visitors evaluating the Lexington Schools' involvement in CD. The students had found out there about Andy Warhol's style, and had followed "Georgeo's Artquest" in their Weekly Reader
(

Lexington Schools are an Apple Partner School District and has at least three or four Macs in every classroom.
