Technology Partnership with K-12 Schools by Samuel Sudhakar

... To help K-12 schools cope with the challenge of this new educational model, Carl Sandburg College (CSC) in Galesburg, Illinois, offers a wide array of products and services at little or no cost to school districts or their teachers. The college's mission is to "provide accessible, quality education in a caring environment by keeping the learner's needs at the center of decision making and by working in partnership with communities of the college district" (n.d., ΒΆ 7). Serving K-12 schools is an important aspect of CSC's fulfillment of this mission and its commitment to the surrounding community. The purpose of this article is to describe CSC's outreach initiatives as an example of how colleges can foster technology-enhanced education in their local communities.
