OUR GOAL TODAY
Help participants gain the necessary skills and
understanding to properly develop and
implement an effective evaluation program for a
1:1 program.
Education is the only business still
debating the usefulness of technology.
Schools remain unchanged for the
most part, despite numerous reforms
and increased investments in
computers and networks.
• U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige,
quoted in National Educational Technology Plan, 2004
