Prince Edward County Middle School was selected as a summer site for a state pilot of the I CAN LEARN (Interactive Computer Aided Natural Learning) software system. Students in the Pre-Algebra summer camp used this software system to improve their skills in the math strand Number and Number Sense. Student achievement and progress were monitored on a daily basis. Teachers were able to see exactly which lessons each student was working on and how much time was spent on each lesson. Prince Edward Middle School was excited to be selected to implement this software system because of its past success with I CAN LEARN during the 2007-08 school year.

Last year the school was one of only two I CAN LEARN math labs in the state of Virginia. For the upcoming school year, I CAN LEARN math will be expanded into Prince Edward High School in Algebra I. The standards-based Pre-Algebra and Algebra courseware is a very successful teaching tool. Although it is new to Virginia, I CAN LEARN has been used with great success in school divisions across the country. The system provides immediate accountability to teachers and administrators through its classroom management system and web-based remote reporting. Students like the immediate feedback, interactive lessons and individual attention that the software can provide.
