Welcome to New School Technology

Our Mission
Welcome to New School Technology, an educational technology website. Over the last decade, technology and education have become increasingly intertwined. However, much of the technology that has been implemented in schools has been done so with a traditional educational model in mind. That is changing. With a new group of educators, administrators and technology enthusiasts, the traditional model of education has slowly begun to change.
Our goal at New School Technology is to provide first class resources, reviews and support for the changing model of education, using technology to help shape that model. Technology allows educators and students to change the learning process, so that students don’t just learn how their teachers learned. Our view is that technology is not an add-on, its not something extra. It is a vital tool that can support and enhance the way students learn, collaborate, and communicate with each other. Effective integration and use of technology will help prepare students for not only academic success, but life outside of school.
