In his lifetime, Senator James H Donovan worked out his priorities vis-à-vis education. He realized that technology was very important for the development of education in particular, and society at large. Donovan saw that many individuals lacked efficient knowledge in the field. This would lead to them incurring difficulties finding meaningful and satisfying employment. So it was one of Donovan’s main tasks to find ways of bringing technology to the forefront of the educational curriculum.
One of the ways Senator Donovan achieved this, was by raising monies for the following projects: ‘Writing to Write,’ Technologies Network Ties (TNT), Graphics Expression Reading Improvement System (GERIS), Reading Achievement Through Publishing Activities (RATPAC), ‘Writing to Read,’ and ‘Starlab.’
