Obama Highlights $90mm Ed-Tech Agency via eschoolnews
It's a symptom that educators are all too familiar with; a bad economy leading to education budget cuts. That's why it's comforting to hear that President Obama is putting forth a major investment into the schools in a speech he delivered in Boston on March 8th. The President's advocacy will take form as the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Education (ARPA-ED). The proposed objective is to implement various technology systems in the current curriculum to digitally enhance both the teacher's and student's learning experience.
The big question today still remains: "Where's the funding coming from?" Even though there's still plenty of uncertainty in this shaky economy it's at least somewhat reassuring to see that organizations, both public and private sector alike, understand the value that comes from STEM initiatives. Here's another link explaining some funding outlets that the Navy plans to undertake over the next few years.
