1. Introduction
Welcome to Nuuanu Elementary School in Honolulu Hawaii. The student population consists of 400 students from grades kindergarten through six and reflect the remarkable ethnic diversity of the socially stable yet dynamic community in upper Nu`uanu Valley. The current make-up of the school is Asian (69%), Pacific Islanders (10%), and other ethnic groups - including Caucasian, African Americans and Hispanics - (21%), but these percentages continue to change. This project involves a team approach between 5th grade teacher Lynn Murakami, librarian, Sylvia Sheu, and computer resource teacher, Kelvin Chun. The 5th grade class has 29 students They have 4 computers in the classroom, 6 computers in the library and 30 computers in the computer lab.

Student Reflections:
Technology:Students used AppleWorks to answer the following questions:
What are you going to do when you get to Jamestown?
Why are you good at your job?
The students were to use the "draw" portion of the program to show a picture of their occupation. The students saved their work in a common folder on the file server. Students could access their files from any computer in the school.
Hyperstudio was another program that was used. Students were given a template to fill in various information such as colonial food, religion, shelter, clothing, jobs, education and illness. They were to do their research on the internet and keep track of their resources by doing a bibliography.
