Technology Integration
MGT understands the growing awareness that education is a critical factor in determining both an individual’s and a region’s ability to be successful in the new global economy. As a result, there is an increased demand from both state and local leaders that public education be improved and expanded through technology.
The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 fundamentally changes and redefines the federal government’s role in K-12 education in order to help improve the academic achievement of all students. The act contains four basic education reform principles, referred to as the Four Pillars: Accountability, Flexibility, Researched-based Reforms, and Parental Options.
MGT's talented team understands that staff training is essential, and teachers need to know more than the basics of operating equipment; they must know how to seamlessly integrate technology into their instructional process.
