We are in a crisis
Each school day produces on average 7,000 high school drop outs.
There are many factors to contribute to this, there is one that is preventable- it is due to the lack of engagement in the classroom
By engaging students we can alleviate some of this so called crisis
How do we engage students?
By using technology.
Why technology?
Students don’t just want technology, they demand it.
Teens spend an average of 50 hours a week plugged in at home
Technology offers anytime anywhere use by students
Students can learn from a much larger community
90% of jobs require some computer skill
Students can choose from a variety of technological tools that will aid them in learning
How do we avert this crisis?
Contact your representatives and request increased funding for technology and teacher related training.
The alarms are sounding-the exodus has begun
7,000 students drop out of high school each day
How can we stop the next generation from walking away from their future?
What can we do to engage them NOW before they are lost FOREVER?
By using technology--Why technology?
Teens spend an average of 50 hours a week plugged in—anytime---anywhere
Students don’t just want technology, they demand technology.
No longer will learning be confined to the four walls of their classroom
The knowledge of the entire globe will be at their fingertips
By using a variety of technological tools that will aid them in lifelong learning, Students will build skills that can be applied to their chosen career—over 90% of today’s jobs require technology
What can YOU do?
Contact your local, state and federal representatives and request increased funding for technology and teacher related training.
