The Future of Learning: ICT in Schools

 

The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and Stanford University are pleased to announce a new Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in K-12 education initiative called WGLN III.  The goal of this initiative is to promote collaborations between K-12 schools and academic units in Sweden on the one hand and Stanford University and K-12 schools in the United States on the other, to implement and evaluate ICT solutions for specific K-12 educational challenges.

 

The goal of WGLN III is to facilitate the adaptation and implementation of materials that incorporate ICT into the learning experiences of students.  To achieve this, we will have to make use of the kind of ICT which children and adolescents are enjoying outside school for the purpose of enhancing learner-based education. We also have to enhance the capabilities of teachers to use ICT. The result should enable teachers to be creative in using technologies already familiar to students to design effective and motivating learning experiences.  

 

Proposals are due 5:00 PM PT on May 30, 2008. Please download the 2008 RFP, budget form, and instructions on how to submit your proposal electronically to the KAW Foundation.
