What We Do At CTSC

CTSC uses technology as a catalyst to transform teaching and learning in schools. The Center partners with schools, districts, and other institutions to provide situated, professional development in which K-12 teachers design and implement technology-infused curriculum projects. The Center also conducts research and evaluation activities to investigate and assess the impact of technology on schools. Reflecting on various approaches to technology integration contributes to the field and helps CTSC continue to improve its own practice.
