ConnectED Could be a Game Changer for Technology in Schools

In the past, public-private partnerships have focused on providing schools with donated software and hardware. But these tools are useless if they are not incorporated into the curriculum. The hardest part of bringing America’s classrooms into the 21st century is not securing the necessary funding. The difficulty is developing strategies that empower teachers to improve their instruction. The focus from the ConnectED partners on training and Internet access suggest the program could help thousands of students enjoy the benefits of education technology.
