Northern State University at Aberdeen; three from South
Dakota School of Mines and Technology at Rapid City; 17

Gov. Bill Janklow announced the
awards Wednesday. Now in its third year, the program
encourages state university faculty to develop skills and
methods to better use computer technology in their daily
courses. With this summer's group, more than 170 faculty
members will have participated since 1998. Janklow has
invested more than $3 million so far in the program,
which pays faculty up to an additional 33 percent of
their respective salaries in return for spending the
summer working on a self-designed project.
The ultimate goal of the
governor's program is producing university students who
are trained in modern technology, especially students in
the education field who plan to become K-12 teachers.
“Before we can teach our
students we must teach our teachers and encourage them to
become innovative in using technology in their
classrooms,” Janklow said. "We have wired our
schools, we offer the summer technology academies for our
K-12 teachers, and the Teaching With Technology program
at the universities is one more part of the big picture.

"What
we're putting in place with all of the different pieces
is a system, a way of making sure that technology becomes
part of the institution of providing a good
education." The

member to work on a project during the summer, plus up to
$5,000 for project expenses.
