dc.description.abstract	Reading Renaissance is the reading motivational program that is an integral part of the Language Arts program at my middle school. The successful implementation of this program requires a concerted collaborative effort among the home, the school and our local community, as represented by the public library. What is the impact of computer technology on communication among these collaborating groups regarding the Reading Renaissance program? This study focused on the use of online computer technology, such as electronic mail [E- mail], the school web page, the media center computer catalog, and Internet access to online databases. It examined four 7th and 8th Grade Language Arts classes, and involved classroom teachers, parents and public librarians from the local branch of our public library. Online surveys, interviews and reviews of E- mail artifacts combined to demonstrate the value, effectiveness and accessibility of computer technology as a means of communication between the school, home and the community.	en_US
