Technology in the Classroom Is Gateway to a Brighter Future

The learning experience of today has evolved as we have moved to a more connected and tech-savvy society – so much so that the global education technology and smart classroom market is forecasted to grow by more than $50 billion over the next five years, according to a recent study by Research and Markets. Educators believe that technology enables a more hands-on experience that allows students to better understand concepts and test theories, and 90 percent of U.S. teachers say modern technology in the classroom is important for students' success, according to a recent Samsung-sponsored GFK survey. Samsung's Director of Corporate Citizenship Ann Woo explains why and what the impact will be.

NGO Recommends Going Beyond Conflict Minerals Compliance

NGO rankings/ratings, regardless of the subject matter, always heighten program manager’s and even board room senses. Will the work that I, as the program manager, did for my company to comply be represented well? Will the level of compliance we, as the board room, decided to have, be enough for the NGO? Responsible Sourcing Network (RSN), in response to their recent report ranking 155 large cap companies for conflict minerals, discloses their intention of their efforts to identify trends and determine areas for improvement among companies, with the ultimate goal to encourage all companies to develop a robust conflict minerals program.

In Your Community: AT&T Launches CBusStudentHack

Last week, AT&T and Franklin University launched the CBusStudentHack: Coding for Community, a 12 week programming contest for central Ohio high school students.

We’ve all heard about “hackathons” in our local communities, but the CBusStudentHack is different. Instead of working with the developer and tech communities, the CBusStudentHack will focus on providing Columbus area high school students with 21st century skills via computer science education. We also hope this competition will prepare the students for college and career readiness, solve real world problems and open the doors of opportunity and creativity, right here in Columbus, Ohio.
