In the information technology age, teaching has an emphasis on understanding how to use information technologies; teachers have access to a host of cutting edge research about how students learn. Teachers in the 21st century confront the challenges opened up by globalization. Teachers introduce students to the larger world, and moreover inculcate in them a sense of their own power to create change in the world. They transmit knowledge to students and instill in them a sense of their place in the larger world, and encourage them to be active participants in it. Intel Education Initiative acknowledges and appreciates such teachers who are true mentors of change in this era of technology through Intel Education Awards.
