Purpose


An effective public education system develops students who are globally aware, civically engaged, and capable of managing their lives and careers. Students need to be proficient users of information, media, and technology to succeed in a digital world.

Blogs, wikis, and nings are electronic resources, all powerful and compelling means for students to learn core subjects and applied skills in relevant and rigorous ways. The goal to provide students with rich and ample opportunities to use technology for important purposes in schools, just as individuals in workplaces and other real-life settings. Educators and students can communicate, learn, share, collaborate and create; they learn to think and solve problems, to manage their work, and to take ownership of their lives.

Our online educational network is part of a strong electronic educational system that supports innovative teaching and learning.

Please join us in our journey to learning writing skills and responsible participation in the world of the web.

Thank you.
