Technology Supporting Education

According to U.S. Department of Education, twenty-first century classrooms are in a state of revolutionary transformation.

In order to meet the demands of 21st century learning there has been a paradigm shift in education and how technology is integrated within.

Technology allows for personalized learning models that open the door for students to take ownership and become empowered in their educational journey (The Journal, 2018.)
