DOVER - Dover High School, in conjunction with the Dover Area Historical Society, has been awarded a $12,000 grant from the Michael Jordan Fundamentals Grant Program to increase technology education through projects related to Dover's history. The grant funded the purchase of digital video recorders, four Mac computers for the high school media center where students will work on projects, and a Mac computer loaned to the Dover History Museum House where student's projects will be displayed.

To date, 59 students were directly impacted with funds that created a multitude of projects that included the digitalization of the "Images of America - Dover" publication. Students each took two chapters to convert to digital media.

Students also paired with another class to turn their version of "Romeo and Juliet" into an edited movie.

The funding also covers a summer workshop for teachers and students to learn video editing.
