BRIEFLY; TEACHER WINS CONTEST PRIZE.

BURBANK - Burbank High School teacher Kathy Weiser has been named a first-place winner in a nationwide online program that encourages teachers to use the Web site yourhomework.com.

Weiser, a computer sciences instructor for students in grades nine through 12, will receive $500 and the school will receive $250 from Globalist Internet Technologies' yourhomework.com Web site. Participants in the contest were awarded points for posting assignment, library and calendar section entries on the site, as well as for designing a personal site.

Weiser said she will use the funds to purchase C++ software for another computer lab in the school, so the school can offer more than seven periods of computer science classes.

The Web site helps teachers post homework assignments, project information, tests and other notices at a place their students have access to.
