Deepen learning and motivate students

Compelling and broadly accessible digital content and tools engage students, fuel exploration and motivate learning. These learning technologies range from virtual field trips that allow students to travel across the globe without leaving their desks, to interactive and adaptive courseware, to immersive, game-based multimedia simulations. They provide a range of modalities, topics, complexity and representations to ensure the breadth and depth of content resources needed to meet every student's interests and abilities. Such electronic learning resources make lessons visually interesting within exciting contexts to capture and hold student attention. In this way, they provide the means and the motives for achievement, helping to ignite in students a life-long love of learning. Ultimately, this passion may be how technology best prepares American students to thrive in an increasingly competitive and fast-paced world, where change is the norm and flexibility, ability and desire to learn are the keys to success.
