Electronic Edition (E-Edition) Teacher Survey

NIE is working to offer electronic editions (E-edition) of the Hartford Courant to Connecticut teachers for classroom use starting in September, 2007. An E-edition is a replica of the daily paper, with all text, pictures, NIE activity pages, advertising and includes functions for moving through pages and sections. Users may save, print and send articles.
E-mail updates may be available throughout the day on topics set by the user. NIE will continue to offer special programs throughout the year. E-editions may be ordered as classroom sets, just like print editions, with the understanding that E-editions are for use as an instructional tool within the classroom. When teachers order E-editions, passwords will be provided to access the E-editions.
