SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 2000

Wasatch Interactive Learning Corp. (OTC BB:ILRN) Monday announced that Apache Junction Unified School District (AJUSD), a K-12 district just east of Phoenix selected Wasatch for their comprehensive, innovative technology program to increase student achievement on standardized tests and on Arizona's graduation exam (AIMS).

The American Association of School Administrators recently recognized AJUSD's technology plan as one of the top six in the nation.

Teachers, administrators, and students from AJUSD elementary schools, middle schools, and high school voted overwhelmingly to adopt the Wasatch Interactive Learning comprehensive software as their district-wide solution.

According to administrators, "Students had a voice in selecting the interactive software they would ultimately use on a daily basis. Student input was critical in making the final decision."

"We spent six months evaluating curricular software products from six different companies and the Wasatch programs were superior in quality and flexibility," said Sharon Smith, AJUSD curriculum director.

"Also, first and foremost, the software we chose was the most engaging, colorful, and interactive of the software we previewed. Kids liked it; therefore, they would stay with the activities long enough to learn the skills."

The software program, from Wasatch Interactive Learning of Salt Lake City, was also preferred by teachers and administrators for its emphasis on real-life applications and its project-based approach.

"We are a growing district and feel that well structured technology will be beneficial to our children. We plan on expanding our use of computers with students. Wasatch's ability to respond to our needs was unique," said Dr. Gary Nine, director of AJUSD education services.
