• Improve test scores · Meet curricular requirements
• Foster relevant staff development
• Provide measurable accountability for technology expenditures

Included are sidebars with advice and comments from educators who have successfully integrated technology initiatives with learning goals. Their experiences help light the path through the journey toward "getting it right" for 21^st century learners.
