An interactive electronic mathematics course offered via the
Internet to students throughout the Hawaiian islands. Cathi
Sanders, a teacher at Punahou School in Honolulu, teaches
this course through ESchool, a pilot project of the Hawaii
Department of Education funded by a U.S. Challenge Grant.
The course uses computer technology and the Internet to
