The i³ professional development program immerses educators in a 42-hour, hands-on training that models successful curriculum & technology integration where professional self-actualization occurs.  The training facilitates change in the individual educator's instruction methods and their classroom design, resulting in greater student achievement.

Participants journey with their facilitators through multiple technology-infused 

lessons, focusing first on curriculum standards, and second, on technology 

integration strategies where the focus is on becoming comfortable with 

technical skills.  Educators participate in technology-infused lessons 

where classroom management strategies and best-practice teaching designs 

are modeled and practiced. Teachers read and discover educational 

pedagogy, leading to a realization of the need for change. This journey brings
