- New Book – Transforming Schools with Technology
Harvard Education Press has published a new book by the Concord Consortium’s Andy Zucker, Transforming Schools with Technology: How Smart Use of Digital Tools Helps Achieve Six Key Education Goals.

Spotlight
The goal of RI-ITEST is to prepare diverse students for careers in information technologies by engaging them in exciting, inquiry-based learning activities that use sophisticated computational models in support of a revolutionary science curriculum.
Teachers will incorporate interactive computer models developed under the Science of Atoms and Molecules (SAM) project at the Concord Consortium. These materials were specifically designed to support a deeper understanding of science made possible through interactive computer simulations and the new physics-chemistry-biology sequence. Connections will be made between the models students use to learn science and possible careers in research and industry where computer modeling is used.
