It's important to realize that it is not just students in our college who will benefit. This grant gives us a chance to really enhance the skills that our teacher-graduates will take to the classroom by going well beyond basic computer instruction. Strudler agreed, saying that it's almost impossible to overstate the importance of computer technology and knowledge in the classroom. I am thrilled for the resources that this will bring to UNLV's College of Education and our various partners in the project. With the increasing teacher shortage in Clark County and across the nation, this grant program will be invaluable in helping prepare tomorrow's teachers for 21st century classrooms.
Computer technology is such a powerful tool for teaching and for learning.
Working with Strudler on the project are David Heflich and Kendall Hartley, both UNLV assistant professors of education, and Christy Falba of the school district.
