Our organization, CUIP (the Chicago Public Schools | University of Chicago Internet Project), has worked for over 13 years at 35 different schools towards supporting their efforts to improve student achievement through the integration of technology resources into the curriculum.  We provide consultation to teachers and school administrators in technology curriculum integration, professional development, and classroom project support, as well as providing general technical support to the schools.   Our school-based efforts are focused in the neighborhoods of: Woodlawn, North Kenwood/Oakland, Hyde Park, Bronzeville, and South Shore.  We also collaborate with the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) on a Technology Academy program that includes schools from situated all over the city, and have created online resources that are freely available to all (Chicago WebDocent <a href="http://cwd.uchicago.edu/">http://cwd.uchicago.edu/</a> : eCUIP the Digital Library <a href="http://ecuip.lib.uchicago.edu/">http://ecuip.lib.uchicago.edu/</a>).
