=MASTT (Math and Science Through Technology)= Is a proposed program that will target 4th and 5th grade students at Oak Ridge, Father Keith B. Kenny, and Jedidiah Smith Elementary Schools, in Sacramento City Unified School District. This proposal will improve student learning in science, technology, math, and language arts through the integration of multimedia resources into direct instruction, and by having students create and document their own learning.

**Students...**
...will do project-based learning which will require them to use collaboration, inquiry, and concept application to solve problems, developing their thinking and problem solving skills. By involving students more directly in their own learning, we should increase both initial engagement in the topics, and retention of what they have learned. The use of science and mathematics subject matter with multimedia will increase student engagement in those subjects, and in the expository reading and writing that goes along with it. This will help prepare students for California's rigorous new math standards for algebra in middle school. This should lead to improved language arts performance as well.

Teachers...
...will connect as a cohort to learn how to implement multimedia resources like document cameras, student video, and streaming video. In addition to this direct support, there will be staff development that includes building a support network for teachers with teachers nearby and around the world to ensure program success. A critical part of the support for this program will come from 5th and 6th grade students participating in a GenYES program of student-based technical support.

Target teachers will participate in 40 hours of professional development. This will include trainings with direct instruction and hands-on exploration, observing model-lessons from a more experienced educator, and observation of their teaching by a more experienced educator. The subject matter will be focused on multimedia technologies followed by hands-on explorations with specific technology tools (digital projectors, document cameras, digital tablets). They will also learn about collaborative tools (blogs, wikis, podcasts, and video multimedia applications) that will help them, and their students reflect on their learning, improving learner outcomes. These tools will bring science and math to "life" for students, and help them become "creators" in their own learning. These tools will also be available for teachers to use to reflect and support each other as they begin working with them in their classrooms. Students in GenYES will be trained on the same tools as teachers and will provide not just hardware support, but assistance in crafting lessons and activities. Master teachers will model teaching strategies, and participants will push-in to other classrooms to observe and learn best practices. Technology specialist will provide training and support on selected tools and applications.
