Enhancing Education Through Technology

Consolidating several technology grants into a single state grant program, EETT's primary goal is to improve student academic achievement through effective use of technology in schools. It is also designed to help students cross the digital divide by ensuring that each is technologically literate by the end of eighth grade, and to encourage the effective integration of technology with teacher training and curriculum development to establish successful research-based instructional methods.
