About the Foundation - Benefits of Learning with Technology

Technology as used in medicine, communications, and other industries has changed and enhanced the lives of millions of people while becoming firmly instilled in our daily lives. When thoughtfully integrated into education, technology has the potential to vastly improve and expand the educational arena for students and teachers alike.

1. Technology can expand students' world views and illuminate the possibilities that the larger world holds for them

2. With excited, engaged students, teachers themselves become re-integrated and the excitement of learning elevates classroom discussions.

3. Technology can make education come alive for students who fail to engage in more static learning approaches as teachers share first-hand examples of math, science or history being used by real-people with real consequences.

4. Technology can overcome geographic limitations and give students in poor and wealthy, rural and urban communities alike equal access to the best libraries. Technology can democratize and globalize education.

5. Technology can enable parents to more actively participate in their children's education as their projects and lessons appear on-line.

6. Technology can provide teachers with access to the best practices of their colleagues, to international collaboration, to expert resources and enriched, real-time, real-world content.

Our children deserve access to the educational opportunities that will best prepare them to make well-informed decisions in a world where information will become increasingly available. The sitesALIVE! Foundation is committed to giving teachers the necessary tools and training to serve as effective guides in the educational process.
