Did you know??

I. Nearly one-third of students in America’s 100 largest school districts will fail to graduate on time. (Thomas & Date, 2006)

II. Many students today feel school is not important to their futures in the “real world”.

III. The pace of learning for them is too “slow” and boring. (Marks, 2009)

IV. They want to receive information YESTERDAY!

V. Your student wants to be an active, collaborative learner. (Marks, 2009)

VI. Use of emerging technology in class keeps your student engaged and effective!

(North Carolina Center For Educational Statistics,

2007)

Reading, writing and comprehension skills can be improved with just a simple computer, webcam & projector (Yang, 2010).

Improvements can be made in math, writing and reading with only a small investment in PILE technology! (Yang, 2010)

For our students to reach their full potentials, and compete in our global economy, it is

something we cannot afford to ignore!

Thank you!
