BEYOND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION

BTE has been assisting K-12 schools on how to effectively plan for school wide technology integration for over 20 years. Regardless of the schools vision for technology: a new desktop computer lab, laptop carts, Chromebooks or a one-to-one device approach, we offer experience, guidance and tools to simplify the process. By leveraging our experience and innovative approach along with our simplified methods, we help schools easily and intelligently integrate technology into a school by focusing... on 3 major planning areas: 1. Assessing, training and supporting classroom teachers 2. Training and guiding students to use technology for learning purposes 3. Integrating relevant and available technology into the classroom curriculum We promote "The 3 C's" for teacher technology use: Confidence, Competence and Content. Only with these three attributes can teachers achieve what they know is possible with technology. Our 3 to 4 year technology implementation model provides the necessary framework in which all other aspects of a school wide technology approach can be addressed. We go beyond "stuff" and address "staff". We help students become better learners today and better earners tomorrow.More
