“Teachers participating in this program will focus on technology to enhance and advance teaching and learning through the use of exciting media and Web applications that are motivators for today’s P-12 students,” she said. “This project provides a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with Apple Computer and Dataseam to provide Kentucky teachers with professional development in educational technology applications.”

“America needs a world-class education system. Students deserve it, parents demand it, and businesses require it if we are to compete and win in the global economy.”

Teams are encouraged to collaborate with university and business partners. That requires a range of skills, including project management and public relations. The hope is that even students who don’t see themselves as math or science whizzes will think more broadly about careers in these fields.
