Classrooms For The Future

Classrooms For The Future is about enabling teachers to use technology as an effective tool for educating students, and preparing students to enter and successfully compete in the ever expanding high-tech global marketplace.

Originally, many people thought of CFF as a “laptop” program or “technology” grant. While the State has invested a tremendous amount of money in the technology for this initiative, the main goal of CFF is not technology. The main goal of CFF is for teachers and schools to fine tune their educational practices and, if necessary, restructure them to best prepare today’s students for an ever-changing future.

Many of our current students will select careers which do not exist today. In order to prepare our students for such an uncertain future, we have a responsibility to ensure our lessons incorporate necessary 21st Century skills.

Chalk, blackboards and textbooks are still essential components for educating students today, but there is no question that in order to adequately prepare our students for life beyond the classroom we must incorporate a greater level of technology into our schools. By introducing students to these resources, we are helping to ensure our students will be best prepared to grasp new technological trends and utilize them to their fullest advantage.
