Vision of the 21st Century Engaged Classroom
The challenge facing America's schools is to empower children to function effectively in the future, a future increasingly marked with change, information growth, and evolving technologies.
Technology is a powerful tool that has enormous potential for paving high-speed highways from outdated educational systems to systems capable of providing learning opportunities for all. Every teacher should identify skills and knowledge to address 21st Century skills in their curriculum in order for students to succeed in school, work, and in life.
The Engaged Classroom program addresses these requisite 21st Century skills. The program provides the necessary technology tools and training for teachers to use these tools effectively in their classroom.
