  11. Reflections and implications of survey • Educators recognize that technology may enable the individualization of instruction, prepare students for college study and career opportunities • Educators also recognize that there needs to be more technology available in the schools and in the students’ outside of school learning and that teachers need ongoing professional development to be more effective in student-center learning

  12. What else do we need to know? • Professional learning communities will be studying what devices might be used in the classroom and what curricular resources – software and online resources – would best engage students in learning. • … how educators and students might best structure learning experiences to obtain educational and professional goals

Kellogg Foundation In short: what do we intend to do, what do we hope to accomplish, and what impact do we expect?
