Jefferson County, KY is doubling to 1,000 this summer the number of teachers trained on using technology, with an emphasis on arming them with practical ways to weave it into lessons.
They will give 300 educators in 34 schools — middle school math teachers and fourth- and fifth-grade teachers — laptops and projectors. The idea is that teachers can use tech-rich programs in front of the whole class, instead of rotating among a handful of students at a time through classroom workstations.
