This paper describes a one-year project to bring computer skills and strategies for computer equity to rural middle school teachers. A variety of distance learning methods was used to train teachers. Teachers carried out projects involving their classrooms and the community, to encourage parental support of computer education for their children. Projects are briefly described, and the results of interviews with students of participating and non-participating teachers are reported. Participating students, both girls and boys, reported more often than non-participating students that they will probably use computers in the future and want to know more about them.
