Moving K-12 Information Technology Fluency to the Next Level
The Commonwealth Information Technology Initiative (CITI) is pleased to
announce its first K-12 grants, totaling $200,000, to promote the
integration of information technology across K-12 curricula. CITI is a
public/private partnership to increase the number of “information
technology-fluent” workers needed for Massachusetts’ knowledge-based
economy. These grants were selected from many excellent proposals received
under an open Request for Proposals issued in December 2004. CITI worked
closely with the Board of Higher Education Regional PreK-12 Networks to
identify partnerships to support intensive professional development for
K-12 educators (teachers and/or administrators) on integrating information
technology in academic curricula, and to replicate the Boston Area
Advanced Technological Education Connections (BATEC) model (www.batec.org)
in another region of the state. The four grants highlight exciting
progress towards the CITI goals. Grants will be given in the Greater
Boston (West), Central, Pioneer Valley and Berkshire regions.
