Technology to Improve Instruction
• Partnerships to Fulfill a Vision for Technology in North Carolina’s Schools
Why Invest and Use Technology?
• Teachers can have better information to tailor instruction.
• Classrooms will be richer and more engaging environments.
• Students can connect to the world.
• Digital learning offers new opportunities for individualization.
READY Meeting Technology Discussions
• At the Regional READY meetings in March, participants heard a vision for how partnerships and working together could achieve technology-enabled learning in NC schools.
– Percentages in slides were meant to start a conversation about partnerships and responsibility to get to technology-enabled classrooms for all students in 2014-15.
• We are beginning these conversations today.
