Resources for North Carolina teachers and students





For the 2009-2010 school year Newspaper In Education at The Daily Advance, The Rocky Mount Telegram, and The Daily Reflector will only deliver electronic copies of the newspaper to NIE classrooms.

We're making the change not only to take advantage of new technology, but also to be good stewards of our NIE donations: The money we raise for NIE can go a lot farther by purchasing e-editions for participating classrooms, which means we will be able to expand the program to even more teachers.
