An essential question to consider when beginning this process would be: Are Ludlow Public School teachers prepared to teach the 21st century skills that are in national and state technology and core curriculum standards and can teachers assess these critical skills (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, etc)?

If not, what steps must the district take to make this come to fruition? If we are, what (if anything) can the district do to better assist teachers? 2.technology available for use || union contract issues || training by teachers ||  || Teachers have access for students to get to web. || 4. access for all ||  ||   ||   || Foster environment to want teachers to get in Have students do activity at least once/twice week Integrate technology into curriculum ||
