Focus Area

Classroom Integration

Support for classrooms and districts focused on making the most of their edtech tools, including hardware, software, and emerging solutions.

Technology in the classroom to enhance student learning

Having the right apps or devices alone isn’t enough to enhance student learning outcomes. A clear, intentional integration strategy is essential too, and the LTC offers the resources and trainings needed to ensure every teacher feels empowered with the latest edtech in hand.

Our team is made up of former educators with decades of experience in the classroom. We know what it’s like to stand in your shoes, which is why we strive to offer constructive integration support that’s both empathetic and centered on keeping educators at the top of their game.
