Intel's Teach to the Future is a worldwide initiative to address the barriers teachers still face in effectively applying computer technology to improve student learning. The curriculum, which consists of ten four-hour modules, is based on the Microsoft Office 2000 Professional software suite.
Training includes use of the Internet, Web page design and multimedia software.
Teachers learn how, when and where to incorporate technology tools and resources into their current lesson plans, how to create assessment tools, and how to align lessons with district, state and national standards. These master teachers will then work with individual school districts to train at least 20 classroom teachers per year.
