This service approaches technology as an important part of instruction. Appropriate planning and management of technology in support of teachers and student lessons and learning creates a transformational, hands-on environment that helps motivate students to develop the skills and knowledge they need in the 21st-century workplace: problem-solving, critical thinking, innovation and collaboration.
Using this model, NERIC (working with vendor affiliates) will lead school districts through any technology initiative with comprehensive planning, proposal generation, procurement, financing, monitoring, installation and support. Hardware in conjunction with application software may be purchased through various funding methods, including installment purchases, bonds and capital projects.
