Integrating technology into K-12 curricula has become an integral component of strategic teaching. Students engage with and respond to technology, and teachers learn that technology can be a very useful tool. LEC works with school districts and campuses to provide professional development in integrating technology. Whether teachers need basic technology skills, advanced skills, or both, LEC trains teachers in best utilizing the technology to produce results.
