Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if sixth and seventh grade students would maintain
academic achievement in language arts, science, and world cultures after parent and teachers
communicated through www.edline.net for one quarter. The measurement tool was comparing
students’ academic achievement from third quarter to fourth quarter. This study involved use of
a dependent t analysis to measure the data collected from the content areas. Achievement results
were mixed; language arts and science showed no improvement, while world cultures showed an
improvement in academic achievement.
