Students in our classrooms today will be training for jobs in the future that do not exist right now. How can we prepare them for a future we can only imagine? Teachers need to use the tools of the future to educate the children now. Instilling the use of technology tools into the core curriculum standards ensures students use the tools effectively.

Topics of Interest

CyberBridges - a program which is a "journey of discovery leading to cultural understanding and global youth leadership between U.S. Catholic students and youth in selected countries throughout the CRS world. Participants engage in dialogue, information sharing, collaborative activities, training and projects that work towards a shared vision of social justice and peace."

Virtual Field Trips - increase student engagement and expand children's learning through active hands-on experience with the rich resources of the local community. Virtual field trips are effective in an environment with budget and time constraints and allows views of areas of interest that might otherwise not be accessible; the White House, out of state museums, and international locations.
