Our “Customers”
• Our primary “customers” have been those students who come to school with a background that prepares them to learn.
• Our more challenging “customers” are not willing to jump through hoops for the sake of learning alone.

The Gist
In a digital world, no organization can achieve results without incorporating technology into every aspect of its everyday practices. It’s time for schools to maximize the impact of technology as well.

Three Recommendations:
#1#2
#3
www.tie.net
Front #1• Use technology comprehensively to develop proficiency
in 21st century skills. • Knowledge of core content is necessary, but no longer
sufficient, for success in a competitive world. Even if all students mastered core academic subjects, they still would be woefully underprepared to succeed in postsecondary institutions and workplaces, which increasingly value people who can use their knowledge to communicate, collaborate, analyze, create, innovate, and solve problems. Used comprehensively, technology helps students develop 21st century skills.
