Tech + Imagination = Results

At the secondary level, 35 students were slated to be trained, but the actual number doubled to 70. In the end, 56 interns were placed in classrooms for the application of technologies for assessment of 10th- and 12th-grade student performance—much above the originally anticipated number of 20 students. Clearly, the teacher-education faculty and students at UNCW have become so motivated by the possibilities of advancing teaching, learning, and assessment through technology that the impact of the project enabled by the PT3 grant has been exponential. It has changed the way we do business, ensured systemic change, and created dynamic solutions for problem-solving. We see now that we are limited only by technological impossibilities and the boundaries of our own creativity.
