Project LOCAL, a not-for-profit regional consortium, offers a broad spectrum of in-service training courses tailored to meet the needs of educators in various disciplines and levels of experience. The purpose of these offerings is to bridge the communication gap between innovative centers in computer-oriented education and staff members in Boston area schools.The number of schools trying to use the computer in instruction is increasing but the computer's potential is not being fully realized. This is largely the result of a scarcity of adequate information and training to prepare school staff members who want to use computers in instruction.In LOCAL's curriculum, teachers and administrators can obtain an introduction to computer-oriented techniques in a variety of areas.
