Project Red

Educators

As an in-the-trenches educator, you see the vast potential for technology in the classroom. But how do you help your school and district embrace the full spectrum of possibilities to ensure a successful implementation? Project RED offers tools and resources to support your needs.

Project RED conducted the first and only national research study focusing on academic and financial benefits of educational technology. Our research of 1,000 schools revealed key findings for the effective integration of technology in schools-- findings that show a replicable design for reducing costs and increasing student achievement. Let us show you how technology can effectively benefit all students.

Professional learning strategies

In order to see student achievement increase and to realize cost benefits from technology, all staff, from the leadership to the classroom teacher, must be engaged in and committed to technology. Districts must make professional learning and the effective use of technology high priorities.

Project RED helps you navigate the path, from working with district leadership on professional learning opportunities to developing effective classroom strategies, to make the most of technology for your students.

Practical, research-based method

Are you ready to begin? Project RED introduces you and your district leaders to a practical, research-based method to effectively integrate technology into the classroom. Project RED provides visionary educators and their district leaders with the tools and knowledge to ensure that technology integration raises student achievement, while having a positive fiscal impact on tight budgets.
