design, implement, and assist with projects utilizing technology.  

3. To implement grade level technology literacy standards as referenced in the

Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills.     

4. To improve students’ and teachers’ technology literacy skills so that they may

Conclusion

The 21st Century School will soon move away from the traditional brick and mortar, “seat-time” school that has been around since the early 1800’s. Students will be able to “connect” with learning 24/6/365 anytime, anywhere they want!
