Technology can easily be overhyped as a 鈥済ame changer,鈥� but for the students of Spartanburg, South Carolina it鈥檚 an apt claim. A large investment by the district in education hardware and software 鈥� and a committed administration determined to integrate technology into the daily routines of both students and educators 鈥� is elevating outcomes for children who struggle with disabilities and other challenges.
Spartanburg鈥檚 District Seven is part of the League of Innovative Schools, a coalition of superintendents committed to elevating technology in the classrooms of 3.2 million kids nationwide. In our visit, The 74 saw firsthand how two students are overcoming significant challenges with grit 鈥� and just the right boost from, yes, game-changing technology.
