The Advantages of Technology-Driven Education
Engaging
Students actively participate in lessons and projects which leads to better student learning. They are more willing to experiment because technology makes tedious tasks more enjoyable.
Efficient
Calculators, computers, data collection probes and sensors along with image (whether a photo or video) analysis software are essential tools for both teaching and learning. Through the integration of technology into the curriculum, basic learning can lead to concrete real world experiences.
Empowering
Technology enhances content learning, supports effective content teaching, and influences what content is taught.

Additional Value for Choosing a Subscription Option
- The school may have two of the “for purchase” power point presentations for use in professional development.
- The school will receive a 10% reduction in the cost for a consultant to provide staff development for the campus. This would help pay for the annual subscription cost.
Other Subscription Information
- Schools are divided into these categories for subscription purposes: K-5, 6-8, 9-12. Request pricing information if your campus does not fit into one of these groups.
- A School buying both math and science subscriptions will be given a discount for the purchase of a combination package.
- A District may also buy a subscription and the cost will be negotiated with the final cost depending on the services requested, the number of schools and grade levels involved. We suggest that choosing a district option would bring savings to the district in costs of materials, science equipment, and professional development that can potentially pay for the cost of the subscription.
- Subscribers become members of the San Antonio Technology in Education Coalition and may provide information about their use of technology in instruction in any content area. They may also provide free materials to be shared with other persons or institutions using the site.
- Individuals may also become subscribers at the same cost as the schools and have the same privileges as the institutional subscribers. Individuals may also request for ITA to vend a lesson or other material developed by the individual. If you want to post a product, contact [email protected] for information.
