Two Intel employees began volunteering in an AP Calculus class, working one-on-one with students who struggled. Their involvement helped improve grades and student understanding. Intel supports the program by providing employee time and funding for adjuncts to earn a Master's in Education. The program now has four adjuncts mentoring over 160 students in math skills.
Guerilla marketing: championing change and market share
The biggest hurdle for potential college students isn’t scholarships—it's textbooks. Costing on average $1200 per year, an entire generation is foregoing higher education. Five years ago, a like-minded group from Rice University decided to do something about it. Now in 40% of all colleges and universities, OpenStax has saved students over $195 million dollars since 2012. At the August 9th networking luncheon, hear Daniel Williamson, OpenStax Managing Director, and Dani Nicholson, OpenStax Director of Marketing and Communications, share how this non-profit is changing the future of education.

The document calls for changes to standards, assessments, instruction and professional development to support students in developing these new literacies to succeed in a global digital economy. It provides examples of research and policies from other countries that have recognized this need for change to prepare students for their reading and learning futures.
Synthesis paper
Technology has significantly impacted education in several ways:
1) It has improved academic achievement through tools that encourage collaboration between students and access to information.
2) It has promoted higher-order thinking by supporting simulations, applications, and student-centered learning.
3) It has increased motivation by engaging students with multimedia, simulations, games, and opportunities for online collaboration.
Combining Technology with the 6 C\'s of Motivation
This document discusses combining technology with the six "C's" of motivation to increase student engagement. The six C's are choice, challenge, control, collaboration, constructing meaning, and consequences. When using these principles and technology together, students are more active rather than passive learners. Some examples of projects that utilize the six C's are a city building project, computer-supported learning environments, manufacturing companies, and multicultural heroes projects. The conclusion states that applying the six C's to open-ended tasks while allowing student choice and feedback enhances motivation.
A Comparative Analysis of i-Ready, IXL, and Prodigy e-learning software programs
This document provides an abstract and introduction for a comparative analysis of the i-Ready, IXL, and Prodigy learning software programs. It examines these three programs and their effectiveness based on student performance on math portions of standardized assessments. The study aims to determine which program has the greatest impact on student growth and achievement. It reviews the relevant literature around the rise of educational technology and standardized testing.
Measuring student engagement with learning technology
The nature of education, interaction, and engagement is rapidly changing as new modes of communication and
technologies enter the hands of learners. While teachers are the greatest lynchpin for keeping students and
classrooms engaged, there are many features tech tools can employ to help. For maximum engagement, technology
tools in learning must appeal to social motivation, have opportunities for creativity, personalize the content and
experience, engage a mentor or teacher, and provide interactivity and immediate feedback. Measuring this
engagement must combine insights from both qualitative and quantitative data.
The Future of Digital Textbooks, Tools of Change, 2010
Technology is driving change in education as it is in publishing. Distance education has become more common in higher education; universities are putting podcasts, texts, and entire courses online. The spiraling cost of textbooks is rendering higher education unaffordable to many students, particularly in community colleges, where textbook costs often exceed tuition. In the K-12 market, digital textbooks have been making inroads into the classroom; a California initiative aims to replace many high school science and math texts with free, “open source” digital versions, while the new Democratic Leadership Council has proposed a “Kindle in Every Backpack.” While some may think of a digital textbook merely an electronic image of a paper product, others have employed the electronic format in broadening the spectrum of learning. This session examines the emerging future of digital textbooks, including open access; subscriptions; texts bundled with online study resources; innovative texts that include multimedia, simulation models, automated assessments; and business models that will allow publishers to survive and thrive in the future.
Education. There's an app for that...
The document discusses the role of technology in transforming education. It argues that the current education system is outdated and not effectively preparing students for the future. Technology can act as a catalyst for change by utilizing tools like gamification, learning management systems, and alternate reality games to make learning more engaging. These tools allow increased interaction, data collection, and accessibility that can improve learning outcomes for all students. The presentation challenges those in education fields like school psychology to implement these innovative technology-driven ideas.
The Role of Technology in the Future of Education
The United States’ public education system is failing. National rankings in science and math are at an all time low, and test scores have remained relatively stagnant since the 1970’s. It’s not about who should be blamed. A better question is who or what is going to lead that change. We believe the answer is technology. Come with us and explore the role technology will play in the future of American education.

Carnegie Learning, Inc. Co-Founder Awarded Benjamin Franklin Medal in Computer and Cognitive Science
- 1. Carnegie Learning, Inc. Co-Founder Awarded Benjamin Franklin Medal in Computer and Cognitive Science PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Franklin Institute this week presented the 2011 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Computer and Cognitive Science to John R. Anderson, PhD, for the development of the first large-scale theory of the process by which humans perceive, learn and reason, and its application to computer tutoring systems. Anderson is a co-founder of Carnegie Learning, Inc. and his Adaptive Control of Thought (ACT) theory is the psychological model that is the foundation of the company's Cognitive Tutor® software. The 186-year-old Franklin Awards are among the most prestigious in their fields. Past winners include Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Orville Wright, Marie and Pierre Curie, and Jane Goodall. Anderson, the R. K. Mellon University Professor of Psychology and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, created ACT-based computer tutoring systems that used interactive techniques to teach math and computer programming. Early trials of the Cognitive Tutor® proved that students using the software learned the material much faster and attained better grades than other students limited to traditional textbook methods.
