For students to compete and succeed in today's knowledge economy, they need 21st century skills. The foundation of the Intel® Teach Program is the development of 21st century skills critical to the effective integration of technology in schools; skills such as digital literacy, critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration.
Teaching one-to-one (1:1) with computers enhances the teaching and learning of both traditional subjects and 21st century skills. It allows teachers to better adapt to individual learning styles, motivate and engage students, cultivate self-directed learners, and provide students with anytime, anywhere access to learning resources.
Intel Teach has a suite of offerings focused on the effective integration of technology in the classroom. For 1:1 computing, Intel Teach has supplemented or designed its courses to reflect the best practices of 1:1 computing. This proven program has helped over 3 million educators in more than 35 countries make teaching and learning more engaging, personal and dynamic.
