Planning for Progress in K-12 Education: Inspired Outcomes through Practical Technology Application

Duration: 60 minutes

Technology is transforming education, but it can’t be said enough that it is not the technology itself that makes the change happen. Properly integrating technology into curriculum is critical. Each step of this process requires strategic decisions that impact the future of every student in the school system. This webinar walks the audience through some of these critical steps outlined in the handbook, “Planning for Progress in K-12 Education: Inspired Outcomes through Practical Technology Application.” The discussion centers on what the ideal educational ecosystem includes, why professional development is critical and what infrastructure is necessary. Finally, we discuss funding opportunities and strategic partnerships that enable schools and districts to make it all happen. It is the hope that after viewing this webinar, you will have the knowledge and direction to begin — or continue — leading your schools down a path to the ideal educational system.
