Elementary Education:

The introduction of preservation issues into the classroom can
provide an effective vehicle for learning basic language skills
and cultural history.  Efforts to promote preservation in the
schools will also serve to introduce students to advanced
technological tools that can be adapted to serve preservation
needs.  Preservation information management exercises using
computers can give students a meaningful context for assimilating
computer skills.  In this way, cultural resource issues can serve
as a basis for developing fundamental knowledge skills, and
foster the assimilation of contemporary technological tools.  As
a consequence of such bipartite initiatives, both cultural and
technical literacy will be enhanced.
